MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, including an eval() call and ASCIIHexDecode filter, indicating an attempt to obfuscate malicious code. The presence of 'CYsoVyap.swf' suggests the potential execution of a Flash object, which could be used to deliver a secondary payload. The heuristics indicate multiple PDF-specific exploit indicators.

Heuristics 5

  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
  • ASCIIHexDecode filter (with exploit indicators) medium PDF_FILTER_HEX
    Hex-encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — often used to hide payload or shellcode bytes
  • 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.
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
