MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

This PDF contains obfuscated JavaScript that is designed to be executed. The script reconstructs strings to call functions like 'unescape' and 'eval', and ultimately appears to download and execute a second-stage payload. The ML classifier and specific heuristics strongly indicate malicious intent.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 3

  • Page-word XOR JavaScript eval stager high PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGER
    PDF JavaScript enumerates rendered page words with getPageNthWord/getPageNumWords, extracts encoded byte fragments, XOR-decodes the stage with char-code helpers, and evals the result. This is an old exploit-kit staging pattern and is not normal document JavaScript.
  • 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.
