Malware Insights
The PDF document contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The ML classifier strongly suggests maliciousness. The JavaScript is obfuscated, as suggested by the PDF_UNESCAPE heuristic and the 'Script obfuscation indicators' signal. The primary function of the embedded JavaScript appears to be downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as evidenced by the ML_NYX_PDF_MALICIOUS heuristic and the presence of multiple JavaScript streams. The extracted file names suggest these are the JavaScript components.
Machine Learning
- Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000
Heuristics 4
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
-
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.
