The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The presence of PDF_EVAL and PDF_UNESCAPE suggests the script is obfuscated and likely designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The ML classifier strongly flags this PDF as malicious. While the exact payload is not clear from the static analysis, the techniques used point to a common delivery mechanism for malware.

- Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9999
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.
