MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell

This PDF contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The presence of an eval() call (PDF_EVAL) suggests obfuscated code execution. The ML classifier strongly flags this as malicious. The embedded JavaScript file, 'javascript_obj0013_001.js', is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, contributing to the overall malicious intent of the document.

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.
