T1059.007 JavaScript
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The PDF document contains embedded JavaScript, identified by heuristics like 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT' and 'PDF_JS'. The JavaScript code appears to be a stager, as indicated by 'PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGER', which likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload. The script dynamically constructs strings and uses XOR operations, suggesting obfuscation to evade detection. The ML classifier strongly flags this PDF as malicious.

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.
-
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.
