MITRE ATT&CK
T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

This PDF file contains embedded JavaScript streams that utilize `eval()` and `unescape()` functions, indicating obfuscation and dynamic code execution. The heuristics suggest these scripts are designed to exploit vulnerabilities within the PDF reader. The presence of two large JavaScript files, `javascript_obj0007_000.js` and `javascript_obj0007_001.js`, strongly implies an attempt to download and execute a secondary payload. The confidence is moderate due to the lack of specific IOCs like URLs or hashes within the provided evidence, and the obfuscated nature of the scripts.

Heuristics 5

  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
  • unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE
    unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits
  • 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.

Extracted artifacts 2
