T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript
T1204.002 Malicious File
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript streams, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The ML classifier strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. The presence of unescape() calls and obfuscated scripts suggests an attempt to hide malicious code, likely for downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The extracted filenames 'javascript_obj0020_000.js' and 'javascript_obj0020_001.js' are included as IOCs.

Heuristics 4
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits
-
Suspicious extracted artifact medium EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne 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.
-
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPTPDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JSPDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
