MITRE ATT&CK
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_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
  • Page-word XOR JavaScript eval stager high PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGER
    PDF 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_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.
