MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF file was flagged as malicious by an ML classifier and contained heuristics indicating JavaScript execution and obfuscation. The embedded JavaScript stream, named 'javascript_obj0029_000.js', is highly suspicious and likely responsible for the malicious behavior. The primary attack pattern involves leveraging embedded JavaScript within a PDF to achieve code execution, potentially leading to the download and execution of further malicious content.
Machine Learning
- Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9999
Heuristics 6
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
-
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.
-
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
-
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.
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#
