The PDF contains obfuscated JavaScript streams, indicated by multiple PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristic firings. The ML classifier strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. The presence of eval() calls suggests dynamic code execution. The embedded JavaScript files are the primary indicators of malicious activity, likely downloading and executing a second-stage payload.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 4
