T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript streams, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. High-confidence firings for PDF_EVAL and PDF_UNESCAPE suggest that the JavaScript is obfuscated and likely designed to execute arbitrary code. The presence of suspicious extracted JavaScript files further supports this. The primary function appears to be downloading and executing a second-stage payload, though the exact URL or execution method could not be fully reconstructed due to obfuscation.
Heuristics 5
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
-
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPTPDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JSPDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
