T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript streams, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The JavaScript is obfuscated, as suggested by the PDF_UNESCAPE firing and the 'Hex escape obfuscation, Script obfuscation indicators' signal in the static triage. This obfuscated JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The presence of multiple JavaScript objects and the obfuscation techniques point towards a malicious intent, though the specific family cannot be determined.
Heuristics 4
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits
-
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.
