T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics including PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and PDF_EVAL. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The embedded JavaScript, named 'javascript_obj0001_000.js', is likely responsible for executing malicious code, potentially downloading a second-stage payload. The exact functionality of the script is not fully discernible due to obfuscation, but its presence within a PDF is a strong indicator of an exploit attempt.

Heuristics 4
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
-
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.
