T1059.007 JavaScript
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript that is obfuscated using XOR and string concatenation. The script's primary function appears to be deobfuscating and executing a second-stage payload, likely by reconstructing and evaluating a JavaScript string. This is supported by the 'PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGER' heuristic. The ML classifier also strongly indicates maliciousness.

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.
