T1204.002 Malicious File
T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF contains an embedded JavaScript payload, indicated by the PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD heuristic. The ML classifier strongly flags this PDF as malicious. The embedded JavaScript is likely intended to download and execute a second-stage payload, although its specific actions are not fully detailed due to obfuscation.
Machine Learning
- Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000
Heuristics 5
-
Embedded script payload in PDF stream medium PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOADPDF 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_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
-
XFA form low PDF_XFAPDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
-
PDF differential parser failed info PDF_DIFFERENTIAL_PARSE_FAILEDThe 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_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.
