The sample is a PDF file flagged as malicious by an ML classifier and exhibits multiple high-severity heuristic firings related to embedded content and potential exploits. Specifically, it contains embedded files and rich media (Flash), and a secondary embedded PDF with suspicious static findings. The presence of these elements suggests the PDF is designed to exploit vulnerabilities and download additional malicious content, although no specific URLs or scripts were extracted for direct analysis.

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9094

Heuristics 4

  • Secondary embedded PDF body has suspicious static findings critical POLYGLOT_CHILD_PDF_STATIC_TRIAGE
    A 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.
  • RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIA
    PDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector (matched inside decoded stream)
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload (matched inside decoded stream)
  • 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.
