MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

This PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. The ML classifier strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. The extracted JavaScript files, javascript_obj0020_000.js and javascript_obj0020_001.js, show signs of obfuscation and likely contain code to download and execute a second-stage payload. The presence of unescape() calls further supports the obfuscation attempt.
