T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF was flagged as malicious by an ML classifier and exhibits characteristics of obfuscation, including the use of JBIG2 encoding and an encrypted structure with embedded JavaScript. The high stream count and the presence of multiple JBIG2 streams suggest an attempt to hide or complicate the analysis of the malicious content. The ML classifier's high score further supports the malicious nature of the file.

Heuristics 4

  • Encrypted PDF carries /JS — payload hidden from static analysis high PDF_ENCRYPTED_WITH_JS
    PDF declares /Encrypt and also references an executable trigger (/JS). Document encryption hides the JavaScript body and stream contents from static scanners — combined with auto-execution indicators this is a known evasion pattern used to deliver weaponised JavaScript that the analyst cannot inspect without the decryption key.
  • JBIG2Decode filter medium PDF_JBIG2
    JBIG2 image decoder present — historically used in zero-click exploits
  • Unusually high stream count medium PDF_MANY_STREAMS
    PDF contains 501+ stream objects — may indicate heap spray or heavy obfuscation
  • 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.

Extracted artifacts 32

Files carved from inside the sample during analysis.
