T1059.001 PowerShell
This PDF document contains embedded JavaScript that utilizes an eval() call, indicating an attempt to execute arbitrary code. The JavaScript is obfuscated, and the PDF also contains a launch action, suggesting it is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. The heuristics indicate script obfuscation and the presence of JavaScript, supporting this assessment.
Heuristics 5
-
Launch action high PDF_LAUNCHPDF contains a /Launch action with an unresolved or extension-less target — treat as potentially dangerous
-
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.
-
