MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, with heuristics indicating the use of eval() and obfuscation. The ML classifier strongly suggests maliciousness. The embedded JavaScript streams, particularly 'javascript_obj0036_002.js', are the primary indicators of malicious activity, likely serving to download and execute a secondary payload.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9999

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.

Extracted artifacts 3
