T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, which is heavily obfuscated using eval() and unescape() calls. This obfuscated script, named 'javascript_obj0009_000.js', is indicative of a downloader or dropper mechanism. The primary goal appears to be executing arbitrary code, likely to fetch and run a second-stage payload from a remote source. The high risk score and specific heuristic firings support this assessment.
Heuristics 5
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (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.
-
