MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell
T1204.002 Malicious File
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript and a secondary embedded PDF, both flagged as suspicious. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The presence of JavaScript actions and streams, along with the 'POLYGLOT_CHILD_PDF_STATIC_TRIAGE' heuristic, suggests the PDF is designed to exploit vulnerabilities and likely download and execute additional malicious content. The extracted artifacts 'javascript_obj0006_000.js' and 'polyglot_child_pdf_off00017618.pdf' are key indicators of this multi-stage attack.
Machine Learning
- Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9956
Heuristics 5
-
Secondary embedded PDF body has suspicious static findings high POLYGLOT_CHILD_PDF_STATIC_TRIAGEA valid PDF body was found at a nonzero offset inside another container and its carved contents matched PDF exploit or lure heuristics. This catches polyglots where the top-level magic routes to ZIP/OLE while a PDF reader or downstream parser opens the hidden PDF payload.
-
ASCIIHexDecode filter (with exploit indicators) medium PDF_FILTER_HEXHex-encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — often used to hide payload or shellcode bytes
-
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.
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne 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.
