The PDF was flagged as malicious by a machine learning classifier with high confidence. Static analysis detected embedded JavaScript, which is often used to exploit vulnerabilities or download further malicious content. The combination of PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and ML_NYX_PDF_MALICIOUS heuristics strongly indicates malicious intent.

Heuristics 4

  • Correlated malicious PDF JavaScript signals critical PDF_CORRELATED_MALICIOUS_JS
    PDF 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_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.
  • PDF differential parser failed info PDF_DIFFERENTIAL_PARSE_FAILED
    The cross-check parser (pdfminer.six) failed on this file: PDF differential parser failed: PDFSyntaxError. Static heuristics still ran and any of their findings above are valid; only the differential cross-check signal is missing.
