The PDF file exhibits multiple high-severity heuristic firings, including PDF_RICHMEDIA and PDF_EVAL, indicating the presence of potentially malicious content. Embedded artifacts such as a SWF file and JavaScript streams (legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js) suggest an attempt to execute code or exploit vulnerabilities. The ML classifier strongly flags this PDF as malicious. The embedded JavaScript likely attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload.
Machine Learning
- Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000
Heuristics 6
-
RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIAPDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
-
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.
-
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info 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.
