The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics as a high-severity stager. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as suggested by the 'PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGER' heuristic. No specific family could be identified.

Heuristics 3

  • Page-word XOR JavaScript eval stager high PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGER
    PDF 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_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.
