MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. The ML classifier strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. An extracted JavaScript file, 'javascript_obj0012_000.js', was also identified as suspicious due to obfuscation and long encoded blobs. The presence of these elements suggests the document is designed to execute malicious code, likely for downloading and executing a second-stage payload.

Machine Learning

Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9999

Heuristics 7

ASCIIHexDecode filter (with exploit indicators) medium PDF_FILTER_HEX

Hex-encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — often used to hide payload or shellcode bytes
Suspicious extracted artifact medium 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.
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPT

PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS

PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
XFA form low PDF_XFA

PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODE

String.fromCharCode found — used to construct payload strings dynamically. Common in benign JavaScript libraries for codepoint manipulation, so this alone is informational; weaponised use is also caught by the dedicated fromCharCode-stage and exploit-shape rules. (matched inside decoded stream)
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.
