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

The PDF file was flagged as malicious by an ML classifier with high confidence. Static analysis identified an embedded JavaScript payload within a PDF stream, indicating an attempt to execute malicious code. The embedded JavaScript file, stream_001_off00000316.js, is the primary artifact for further investigation.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 5

  • Embedded script payload in PDF stream medium PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD
    PDF stream bytes contain an HTML/XFA <script> tag without accompanying Windows shell-execution primitives — common in accessible XFA forms but worth surfacing for analyst review.
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • PDF differential parser failed info PDF_DIFFERENTIAL_PARSE_FAILED
    The cross-check parser (pdfminer.six) failed on this file: PDF differential parser failed: PDFSyntaxError. Static heuristics still ran and any of their findings above are valid; only the differential cross-check signal is missing.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One 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.
