MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, which is flagged by multiple heuristics including PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and PDF_EVAL due to the presence of an eval() call. The ML classifier also strongly indicates maliciousness. The embedded JavaScript file, javascript_obj0001_000.js, is likely responsible for executing the malicious payload, though its specific actions are obfuscated. The file's metadata indicates it was authored using Adobe InDesign.

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.
