MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, identified by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The JavaScript stream utilizes `eval()` and `String.fromCharCode`, indicating obfuscation and dynamic code execution. The ML classifier strongly flags this PDF as malicious. The primary function of the embedded script appears to be downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as suggested by the obfuscated nature and the use of `eval()`.

Machine Learning

Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 5

eval() call high PDF_EVAL

eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
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.
String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODE

String.fromCharCode found — used to construct payload strings dynamically. Common in benign JavaScript libraries for codepoint manipulation, so this alone is informational; weaponised use is also caught by the dedicated fromCharCode-stage and exploit-shape rules.
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE

One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
