T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious JavaScript
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript and uses filters like ASCIIHexDecode and ASCII85Decode, which are often employed to obfuscate malicious code. The ML classifier strongly indicates malicious intent. The presence of JavaScript actions and streams suggests the PDF is designed to execute code, likely to exploit a vulnerability or download a secondary payload.

Heuristics 4
-
ASCIIHexDecode filter (with exploit indicators) medium PDF_FILTER_HEXHex-encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — often used to hide payload or shellcode bytes
-
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPTPDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JSPDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
