MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The PDF_UNESCAPE heuristic suggests obfuscation, and a suspicious JavaScript file was extracted. This JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, a common technique for malware delivery.

Heuristics 4

  • unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE
    unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One 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.
  • 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.

Extracted artifacts 3

Files carved from inside the sample during analysis.
