MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 Scripting: JavaScript

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript streams that are heavily obfuscated using eval() and unescape() calls. The heuristics indicate suspicious JavaScript activity and the presence of eval() and unescape() functions, which are commonly used to hide malicious code. The extracted JavaScript files, javascript_obj0007_000.js and javascript_obj0007_001.js, are likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload. Due to the obfuscation, the exact nature of the payload and its ultimate destination could not be determined with high confidence.

Heuristics 5

  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
  • unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE
    unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits
  • 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.

Extracted artifacts 2
