T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript streams that are heavily obfuscated, indicated by the 'unescape()' calls and 'Script obfuscation indicators' heuristic. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF as malicious with high confidence. The presence of these obfuscated scripts suggests the document's primary purpose is to act as a dropper, likely downloading and executing a malicious second-stage payload from an external source. No specific family could be identified due to the obfuscation.

Heuristics 4
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits
-
Suspicious extracted artifact medium EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne 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.
-
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.
