T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information
This PDF file was flagged as malicious by an ML classifier and contains embedded JavaScript streams. The JavaScript appears to be heavily obfuscated using eval() and String.fromCharCode, making it difficult to determine the exact payload. However, the presence of these obfuscation techniques and embedded scripts strongly suggests an attempt to download and execute a secondary malicious payload. The extracted file names 'javascript_obj0008_000.js' and 'javascript_obj0008_001.js' are included as IOCs.
Machine Learning
- Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000
Heuristics 5
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
-
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.
-
String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODEString.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.
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info 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.
