T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1059.007 JavaScript
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript and is flagged by a machine learning classifier as malicious. The JavaScript action and embedded stream, combined with the ASCIIHexDecode filter, suggest an attempt to exploit a client-side vulnerability for execution. The presence of 'CYsoVyap.swf' indicates a likely second-stage payload.

- Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000
Heuristics 5
-
ASCIIHexDecode filter (with exploit indicators) medium PDF_FILTER_HEXHex-encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — often used to hide payload or shellcode bytes
-
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.
-
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
-
Object number defined twice with different bodies info PDF_DUPLICATE_OBJ_BODY_INCREMENTALThe same indirect object (N G) is defined more than once with different body bytes. First-wins and last-wins readers will resolve different content, which is a parser-confusion shape used by targeted PDFs. Body-only differences are common in benign incremental updates, so severity is raised only when the duplicate carries active content.
