The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics including PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and PDF_EVAL. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly indicate maliciousness, identifying it as Txt.Downloader.Nemucod-6769573-0. The extracted JavaScript artifacts, javascript_obj0011_000.js and javascript_obj0011_001.js, show signs of obfuscation and are likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9915

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Txt.Downloader.Nemucod-6769573-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Txt.Downloader.Nemucod-6769573-0
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium 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.
  • 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.

Extracted artifacts 2
