MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, with a high-confidence heuristic firing for eval() calls and ML classification indicating maliciousness. The JavaScript stream, identified as stream_006_off0000224d.js, is obfuscated and likely responsible for executing a malicious payload. The presence of JavaScript actions and streams within a PDF is a common delivery mechanism for malware.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 4

  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
  • 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.
