T1059.007 JavaScript
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, which is flagged as malicious and heavily obfuscated. The ML classifier also strongly indicates maliciousness. The JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as indicated by the 'PDF_ENCRYPTED_WITH_JS' heuristic which points to an 'OpenAction' hiding the payload. The presence of JavaScript and the obfuscation techniques suggest a downloader or dropper.

Heuristics 4
-
Encrypted PDF carries /OpenAction — payload hidden from static analysis high PDF_ENCRYPTED_WITH_JSPDF 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.
-
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.
