MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The presence of an eval() call within the JavaScript stream (PDF_EVAL) suggests that the script is designed to execute arbitrary code. The PDF_LAUNCH heuristic further indicates an attempt to trigger an external action. While the exact payload is obfuscated, the combination of these indicators points to a malicious document leveraging JavaScript for execution. No specific family could be identified.

Heuristics 5

  • Launch action high PDF_LAUNCH
    PDF contains a /Launch action with an unresolved or extension-less target — treat as potentially dangerous
  • 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.
  • 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.
