MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The PDF file contains an embedded script payload and an embedded binary file, strongly indicating malicious intent. The ML classifier assigned a very high probability of maliciousness. The embedded script is likely designed to execute the embedded binary, which is a common technique for delivering malware. The document body text is highly obfuscated and does not provide clear user-facing content.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 5

  • Embedded script payload in PDF stream medium PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD
    PDF stream bytes contain an HTML/XFA <script> tag without accompanying Windows shell-execution primitives — common in accessible XFA forms but worth surfacing for analyst review.
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • 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.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
