MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains a high-confidence heuristic firing for a 'Page-word XOR JavaScript eval stager', indicating obfuscated JavaScript is used to launch further malicious activity. The embedded JavaScript stream, named 'javascript_obj0011_000.js', is the likely component responsible for this stager functionality. The primary attack pattern is therefore the execution of this embedded script, which is designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The ML classifier also strongly supports a malicious verdict.

Heuristics 3

Page-word XOR JavaScript eval stager high PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGER

PDF JavaScript enumerates rendered page words with getPageNthWord/getPageNumWords, extracts encoded byte fragments, XOR-decodes the stage with char-code helpers, and evals the result. This is an old exploit-kit staging pattern and is not normal document JavaScript.
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.
