T1204.002 Malicious File: Exploitation for User Execution
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics including a high-severity eval() call. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The embedded JavaScript, named 'javascript_obj0001_000.js', is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, a common technique for initial access.

Heuristics 4
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (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.
