MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file was flagged as malicious by an ML classifier with high confidence. Heuristics indicate the presence of JavaScript and XFA form elements, often used in PDF exploits. While the document body is unreadable, the combination of these factors points to a likely exploit delivery mechanism. No specific family could be identified.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9998

Heuristics 5

  • 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.
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • 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.
