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.

Page-word XOR JavaScript eval stager high PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGERPDF 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_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.
