MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and PDF_EVAL. The eval() call and String.fromCharCode usage suggest obfuscated code designed to execute arbitrary commands. The extracted JavaScript files, 'javascript_obj111611_000.js' and 'javascript_obj111612_001.js', are likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, a common technique for initial access.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 5

  • JavaScript action low 2 related findings PDF_JAVASCRIPT
    PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • PDF JavaScript exploit cluster critical PDF_JS_EXPLOIT_CLUSTER
    PDF combines an executable JavaScript/action surface with exploit staging indicators such as eval/unescape/fromCharCode, XFA script content, or a related CVE pattern. Benign form JavaScript remains low-severity, but this correlated cluster is high-confidence malicious behavior.
    Matched line in script
    /*fGhkjkDFhkhsfd <FDSJHFhkjkjSDFkj> FDKLFJHklfkldshfSLDf*/ eval('kwcnbth=/*fGhkjkDFhkhsfd <FDSJHFhkjkjSDFkj> FDKLFJHklfkldshfSLDf*/eval;');
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
