MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

This PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that utilizes eval() to deobfuscate and execute code. The script appears to be designed to download and execute a secondary payload, indicated by the PDF_JS_EXPLOIT_CLUSTER heuristic. The specific JavaScript payload is heavily obfuscated, but the presence of eval() and the exploit cluster strongly suggest malicious intent.

Heuristics 4

  • PDF JavaScript exploit cluster critical PDF_JS_EXPLOIT_CLUSTER
    PDF combines an executable JavaScript/action surface with exploit staging indicators such as eval/unescape/fromCharCode, XFA script content, or a related CVE pattern. Benign form JavaScript remains low-severity, but this correlated cluster is high-confidence malicious behavior.
  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
  • 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.
