MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 User Execution: Malicious File T1059.007 JavaScript

The sample is a PDF containing heavily obfuscated JavaScript designed to perform heap spraying via the creation of a large array of buffers (up to 0xD0000 bytes). The script uses unescape() to decode a large blob of shellcode and attempts to trigger a vulnerability through memory manipulation. No specific C2 URLs or second-stage payloads were extracted from the truncated scripts.

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9547

Heuristics 3

  • unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE
    unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
  • Generic recovered JavaScript exploit stage high PDF_GENERIC_STAGE_RECOVERY
    Bounded static stage recovery exposed hidden JavaScript through generic transforms such as null-byte collapse, percent decoding, marker replacement, arithmetic character codes, fromCharCode, numeric arrays, numeric-array minus-key decoders, alphabet-index arrays, /Producer half-difference metadata arrays, hex literals, marker-stripped Base64 literals, custom 6-bit XOR table decoders, or repeated-marker hex carriers. This rule is emitted only when the recovered stage contains exploit-like Acrobat JavaScript or shellcode markers.
  • 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.
