MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1059.007 JavaScript
The PDF file exhibits multiple high-severity heuristic firings related to JavaScript, embedded files, and rich media content, strongly indicating malicious intent. Specifically, the presence of an embedded SWF file and a JavaScript stream, along with the use of unescape() in the JavaScript, suggests an attempt to execute arbitrary code. The ML classifier's high confidence score further supports this assessment. The embedded artifacts, 'hJzrcNRhacMbB.swf' and 'javascript_obj0006_000.js', are key indicators of the attack vector.
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
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits
-
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.
