MITRE ATT&CK
T1553.005 Mark-of-the-Web Bypass T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information T1140 Deobfuscate/Decode Files or Information

The PDF file contains an embedded JavaScript payload, indicated by the 'PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD' heuristic. The 'EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE' heuristic flags obfuscation indicators within the extracted JavaScript file 'stream_001_off0000031f.js'. This suggests the script is designed to evade detection and likely downloads or executes a secondary payload. The XFA form and embedded file heuristics further support the malicious nature of the document.

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 7

  • PDF embedded file could not be fully decoded medium PDF_EMBEDDED_FILE_UNDECODED
    A declared PDF /EmbeddedFile stream uses filters that the scanner could not decode. The raw stream was carved for artifact triage because malformed or unsupported attachment filters can hide payload content from normal extraction.
  • 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
  • Embedded script payload in PDF stream info 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.
  • Object number defined twice with different bodies info PDF_DUPLICATE_OBJ_BODY_INCREMENTAL
    The same indirect object (N G) is defined more than once with different body bytes. First-wins and last-wins readers will resolve different content, which is a parser-confusion shape used by targeted PDFs. Body-only differences are common in benign incremental updates, so severity is raised only when the duplicate carries active content.
  • 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.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
