MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript

This PDF sample was flagged as malicious by an ML classifier with high confidence. Static analysis revealed embedded JavaScript and an encrypted document body, indicating an attempt to hide malicious content. The presence of JavaScript actions and embedded JS streams suggests the script is used to de-obfuscate or execute a payload, likely for delivering malware.

Heuristics 3

  • Encrypted PDF carries /OpenAction — payload hidden from static analysis high PDF_ENCRYPTED_WITH_JS
    PDF declares /Encrypt and also references an executable trigger (/OpenAction). Document encryption hides the JavaScript body and stream contents from static scanners — combined with auto-execution indicators this is a known evasion pattern used to deliver weaponised JavaScript that the analyst cannot inspect without the decryption key.
  • 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.
