MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1140 Deobfuscate/Decode Files or Information

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript which is designed to extract and execute content from an embedded file. The script reconstructs the string 'eval' by concatenating XML node values and uses it to execute deobfuscated content. This indicates the file is a dropper or downloader for a secondary payload.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9999

Heuristics 5

  • Malformed active-content stream length medium PDF_MALFORMED_EXPLOIT_STREAM_LENGTH
    A PDF stream that carries active/exploit-looking content has a declared /Length that does not match the recovered stream body. Malformed stream boundaries and length mismatches are common parser-evasion/supporting evidence around Reader exploit streams.
  • JavaScript action low 1 related finding 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.
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • 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.

Detection
ClamAV: No threats found
Obfuscation or payload: likely
323 of 323 identifiers look randomly generated (e.g. 'q19yM9unIH0vn5Dlx1q19yM9unIH0vn5Dlx2q19y') — consistent with name-mangling obfuscation. Carved artifact contains 145 long base64-like blob(s).
