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

The PDF document contains embedded JavaScript, identified by multiple heuristics as a stager. The script attempts to deobfuscate and then evaluate a string, which is likely a second-stage payload. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The primary IOC is the embedded JavaScript file.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
