T1059.007 JavaScript
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript that is heavily obfuscated. The script appears to be a stager designed to deobfuscate and execute a second-stage payload, likely by evaluating a constructed string. The presence of PDF-specific heuristics like 'PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGER' and 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT' strongly indicates malicious intent, pointing towards a common phishing or malware delivery technique.

Heuristics 3
-
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.
