MITRE ATT&CK
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.

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.
