MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

This PDF file exhibits multiple high-severity heuristic firings related to JavaScript execution and launching external actions. The presence of an embedded JavaScript stream and an eval() call strongly suggests an attempt to execute arbitrary code. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF as malicious with high confidence. While the exact payload is not clear due to obfuscation, the techniques indicate a malicious intent to exploit the PDF viewer.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 5

  • Launch action high PDF_LAUNCH
    PDF contains a /Launch action with an unresolved or extension-less target — treat as potentially dangerous
  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
  • JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPT
    PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS
    PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
