MITRE ATT&CK

T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, which is heavily obfuscated using eval() and unescape() functions. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The embedded JavaScript file, 'javascript_obj111611_000.js', is the primary artifact, suggesting it's responsible for the malicious payload delivery. The obfuscation techniques used point towards an attempt to hide the script's true functionality, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Machine Learning

Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 6

eval() call high PDF_EVAL

eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE

unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
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.
String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODE

String.fromCharCode found — used to construct payload strings dynamically. Common in benign JavaScript libraries for codepoint manipulation, so this alone is informational; weaponised use is also caught by the dedicated fromCharCode-stage and exploit-shape rules. (matched inside decoded stream)
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.
