MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT' and 'PDF_JS'. The 'PDF_UNESCAPE' heuristic suggests the JavaScript is obfuscated. The ML classifier strongly flags this PDF as malicious. The embedded JavaScript file 'javascript_obj0007_000.js' is the primary artifact, likely responsible for delivering a second-stage payload.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 4
