Malware Insights
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT' and 'PDF_JS'. The 'PDF_EVAL' and 'PDF_FROMCHARCODE' rules suggest the JavaScript is obfuscated and likely executes arbitrary code. The ML classifier strongly flags this PDF as malicious. The extracted JavaScript files, 'javascript_obj0013_001.js' and 'acroform_b64_00.js', are the primary artifacts, but their specific actions could not be fully determined due to obfuscation. The overall attack pattern is consistent with using a document to deliver and execute a malicious script.
Machine Learning
- Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9999
Heuristics 5
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
-
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.
-
String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODEString.fromCharCode found — used to construct payload strings dynamically. Common in benign JavaScript libraries for codepoint manipulation, so this alone is informational; weaponised use is also caught by the dedicated fromCharCode-stage and exploit-shape rules. (matched inside decoded stream)
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne 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.
