T1059.001 PowerShell
T1204.002 Malicious File
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript that is heavily obfuscated and uses an eval() function, indicating a stager designed to execute further malicious code. The ML classifier strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. The presence of PDF-specific heuristics like 'PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGER' and 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT' further supports the conclusion that this PDF is intended to exploit vulnerabilities and download additional payloads.
Machine Learning
- Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000
Heuristics 5
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
-
Page-word XOR JavaScript eval stager high PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGERPDF JavaScript enumerates rendered page words with getPageNthWord/getPageNumWords, extracts encoded byte fragments, XOR-decodes the stage with char-code helpers, and evals the result. This is an old exploit-kit staging pattern and is not normal document JavaScript.
-
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.
-
