MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, which is flagged as suspicious by multiple heuristics including a high-severity eval() call. The ML classifier also strongly indicates maliciousness. The JavaScript is obfuscated, making its exact function difficult to determine, but the presence of eval() suggests dynamic code execution, likely to download and run a secondary payload. No document body text was available for further context.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 4

  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
  • 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.
  • 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.
