T1059.001 JavaScript/Shell Script Execution: JavaScript
T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious JavaScript
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. A high-confidence heuristic, PDF_EVAL, specifically flags the use of eval(), which is commonly used to deobfuscate and execute malicious code. The ML classifier also strongly indicates maliciousness. The embedded JavaScript likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload, though the exact URL or payload could not be reconstructed due to obfuscation or truncation.

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.
-
Optional Content Group with action trigger low PDF_OPTIONAL_CONTENTOptional Content Group (layer) co-occurs with an action trigger — content can be selectively hidden from viewers or scanners while the action still fires on open
