MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, identified by multiple heuristics as a stager. This script is highly obfuscated but appears to be designed to execute further malicious code. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The primary IOC is the file hash itself, as the specific payload and delivery mechanism are not fully discernible from the provided evidence.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 3

  • Page-word XOR JavaScript eval stager high PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGER
    PDF JavaScript enumerates rendered page words with getPageNthWord/getPageNumWords, extracts encoded byte fragments, XOR-decodes the stage with char-code helpers, and evals the result. This is an old exploit-kit staging pattern and is not normal document JavaScript.
  • 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.
