MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript T1559.002 Component Object Model Hijacking

The PDF file exhibits multiple indicators of malicious activity, including embedded JavaScript and a Flash object. The ML classifier strongly flags this PDF as malicious. The presence of a JavaScript stream and an embedded SWF file suggests an attempt to execute arbitrary code or exploit vulnerabilities within the user's system. The extracted artifact 'javascript_obj0006_000.js' is a key indicator of the malicious script's presence.

Heuristics 7

RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIA

PDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
ASCIIHexDecode filter (with exploit indicators) medium PDF_FILTER_HEX

Hex-encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — often used to hide payload or shellcode bytes
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.
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED

PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODE

String.fromCharCode found — used to construct payload strings dynamically. Common in benign JavaScript libraries for codepoint manipulation, so this alone is informational; weaponised use is also caught by the dedicated fromCharCode-stage and exploit-shape rules. (matched inside decoded stream)
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.
