MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, which is used to obscure content and likely download and execute a second-stage payload. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. While the embedded URLs are not directly malicious, they are present within the document's structure.

Heuristics 4

  • Encrypted PDF carries /OpenAction — payload hidden from static analysis high PDF_ENCRYPTED_WITH_JS
    PDF declares /Encrypt and also references an executable trigger (/OpenAction). Document encryption hides the JavaScript body and stream contents from static scanners — combined with auto-execution indicators this is a known evasion pattern used to deliver weaponised JavaScript that the analyst cannot inspect without the decryption key.
  • 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.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
