MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

This PDF exhibits significant structural malformations, including a missing object graph, which strongly suggests it is not a standard document but rather an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities. The presence of JavaScript actions and embedded JS streams further indicates malicious intent, likely to execute an exploit. The ML classifier's high confidence score reinforces the assessment of maliciousness.

Heuristics 3

  • Malformed PDF header with no object graph high PDF_MALFORMED_NO_OBJECT_GRAPH
    File starts with a PDF header but contains no indirect objects, xref table/stream, or startxref pointer. This is not a normal renderable PDF and can indicate parser fuzzing, evasion, or a corrupt exploit test case rather than benign content.
  • 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.
