MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, which is heavily obfuscated using unescape() calls. This script is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The high confidence in the malicious verdict is based on the presence of obfuscated JavaScript within a PDF, a common delivery mechanism for malware.
Heuristics 4
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
-
Suspicious extracted artifact medium EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne 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_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.
