T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript with high-confidence indicators of maliciousness, including `eval()` and `unescape()` calls. The ML classifier also strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. The JavaScript is obfuscated, making its exact function difficult to determine, but the presence of these functions strongly suggests it's designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The file's metadata indicates it was authored by 'Lc77Ge', which may be a clue to the actor or toolchain.
Machine Learning
- Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000
Heuristics 5
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
-
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.
-
