MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics including PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. A high-severity heuristic, PDF_EVAL, indicates the use of eval() for executing obfuscated code. The ML classifier strongly supports maliciousness. The embedded JavaScript file, javascript_obj0001_000.js, is likely responsible for the malicious behavior, potentially downloading and executing a second-stage payload.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 4

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