T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, PDF_EVAL, and PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGER. The JavaScript stream, named 'javascript_obj0010_000.js', appears to be obfuscated and is likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload. The presence of eval() calls and stager patterns strongly suggests a malicious intent to compromise the user's system.
Heuristics 5
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
-
Page-word XOR JavaScript eval stager high PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGERPDF JavaScript enumerates rendered page words with getPageNthWord/getPageNumWords, extracts encoded byte fragments, XOR-decodes the stage with char-code helpers, and evals the result. This is an old exploit-kit staging pattern and is not normal document JavaScript.
-
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.
