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

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript that is obfuscated and designed to be evaluated. The heuristics indicate this script acts as a stager, likely downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The ML classifier strongly suggests malicious intent. Given the nature of PDF-based malware, it is highly probable this file was delivered as a spearphishing attachment.

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.
