T1059.007 JavaScript
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The PDF contains encrypted JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_ENCRYPTED_WITH_JS heuristic. The embedded JavaScript, specifically 'javascript_obj0017_000.js', uses 'eval' and 'unescape' to deobfuscate and execute code, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload. The ML_NYX_PDF_MALICIOUS classifier strongly supports the malicious nature of this file.

Heuristics 4
-
Encrypted PDF carries /JavaScript — payload hidden from static analysis high PDF_ENCRYPTED_WITH_JSPDF declares /Encrypt and also references an executable trigger (/JavaScript). 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.
-
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.
