MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file was flagged as malicious by an ML classifier and contained embedded JavaScript. The JavaScript appears to be heavily obfuscated, but the presence of embedded URLs and heuristic firings related to JavaScript actions strongly suggest it is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. The obfuscated nature of the script and the lack of clear indicators for a specific family lead to an 'unknown family' classification.

Heuristics 4

  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium 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.
  • 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.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
