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

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript with an eval() call, strongly indicating malicious intent. The ML classifier also flagged this as highly suspicious. The JavaScript is obfuscated, but the presence of eval() suggests it's designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. The file's metadata indicates it was authored by 'mVusaT', which may be a tool or packer.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000
