The PDF file is encrypted and contains JavaScript, which is a common technique to obfuscate malicious content and bypass static analysis. The presence of JBIG2 encoded streams and the 'PDF_ENCRYPTED_WITH_JS' heuristic strongly suggest that the PDF is designed to deliver a secondary payload. The document body is unreadable, but the heuristics indicate a lure document, likely intended to trick the user into executing embedded malicious code.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier suspicious score 0.3546

Heuristics 4

  • Encrypted PDF carries /OpenAction — payload hidden from static analysis high PDF_ENCRYPTED_WITH_JS
    PDF declares /Encrypt and also references an executable trigger (/OpenAction). Document encryption hides the JavaScript body and stream contents from static scanners — combined with auto-execution indicators this is a known evasion pattern used to deliver weaponised JavaScript that the analyst cannot inspect without the decryption key.
  • JBIG2Decode filter medium PDF_JBIG2
    JBIG2 image decoder present — historically used in zero-click exploits
  • PDF paints image(s) but contains no text operators info PDF_IMAGE_ONLY_LURE
    PDF has 2 image XObject(s) and the content stream contains no text-emitting operators (BT/ET, Tj, TJ, ', ") in either raw bytes or decompressed streams — this is the screenshot-as-PDF pattern used to bypass text-based scanners and to deliver instructions purely through rendered pixels. It is informational unless paired with invisible links or risky URI context.
  • 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.

Extracted artifacts 32

Files carved from inside the sample during analysis.
