MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF file was flagged as malicious by an ML classifier and contains embedded JavaScript. The JavaScript stream is obfuscated, indicated by the 'unescape()' call and 'Script obfuscation indicators' heuristic. This obfuscation suggests an attempt to hide malicious code, likely for downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The presence of PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics further supports the malicious nature of the embedded script.

Heuristics 4
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (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.
