T1059.001 JavaScript
T1204.002 Malicious JavaScript
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The ML classifier and correlated malicious JavaScript signals strongly suggest malicious intent. The JavaScript action at offset 0x42, combined with the ML_NYX_PDF_MALICIOUS firing, points to the exploitation of a PDF vulnerability to execute arbitrary code. The reconstructed string 'lPdF (via oDnD)' and the creation date '2009-07-13 19:22:54' are noted as potential indicators.

Correlated malicious PDF JavaScript signals critical PDF_CORRELATED_MALICIOUS_JSPDF JavaScript or auto-action content is corroborated by exploit staging, ML, or suspicious extracted-artifact findings. This correlation promotes old exploit-kit PDFs that otherwise remain in the suspicious band because each individual signal is intentionally weighted conservatively.
-
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.
