The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript streams, with one heuristic firing indicating an eval() call. The ML classifier strongly suggests maliciousness. The JavaScript appears to be obfuscated, making it difficult to determine the exact payload, but the presence of eval() and embedded scripts points to code execution. The document body contains what appears to be obfuscated JavaScript code, further supporting this. No specific family is identifiable due to the obfuscation.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 4

  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
  • 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.
  • 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.
