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

This PDF file was flagged as malicious by an ML classifier and contains embedded JavaScript. The JavaScript stream includes an eval() call, indicating obfuscated code execution. This pattern is commonly used to download and execute further stages of malware. The specific JavaScript content is too obfuscated to determine the exact payload or persistence mechanism.

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.
