MITRE ATT&CK

T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript and Flash content, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and PDF_RICHMEDIA heuristics. The ML classifier strongly flags this PDF as malicious. The embedded JavaScript file, 'javascript_obj0006_000.js', likely contains obfuscated code designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. The presence of ASCIIHexDecode with exploit indicators further suggests an attempt to conceal malicious code execution.

Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 7

RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIA

PDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
ASCIIHexDecode filter (with exploit indicators) medium PDF_FILTER_HEX

Hex-encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — often used to hide payload or shellcode bytes
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 file low PDF_EMBEDDED

PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODE

String.fromCharCode found — used to construct payload strings dynamically. Common in benign JavaScript libraries for codepoint manipulation, so this alone is informational; weaponised use is also caught by the dedicated fromCharCode-stage and exploit-shape rules. (matched inside decoded stream)
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.
