MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript streams, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The ML_NYX_PDF_MALICIOUS classifier strongly suggests malicious intent. The presence of unescape() calls and obfuscated scripts further supports this. The extracted JavaScript files, javascript_obj0034_000.js and javascript_obj0034_001.js, are likely responsible for executing malicious code, potentially downloading and executing second-stage payloads.

Heuristics 4

unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE

unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits
Suspicious extracted artifact medium 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.
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.
