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

This PDF file was flagged as malicious by an ML classifier with high confidence. Static analysis revealed embedded JavaScript, including an eval() call, indicating the execution of obfuscated code. The presence of a JavaScript object suggests the script is intended to download and execute a secondary payload. No document body text was available for analysis, but the script's nature points to a downloader or dropper attack pattern.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 4

  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
  • 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.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info 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.
