The PDF contains embedded JavaScript that is obfuscated but appears to be a stager. The script reconstructs a URL from concatenated strings and then downloads and executes a second-stage payload. The high-confidence ML classifier and specific heuristics confirm the malicious nature of the PDF.

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.
