MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics including a high-severity eval() call. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The embedded JavaScript file, 'javascript_obj0006_000.js', is likely responsible for executing the malicious payload. The obfuscated nature of the script and the use of eval() suggest an attempt to hide the true nature of the executed code, which is typical of malware delivery.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9998

Heuristics 4

  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
  • 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.
  • 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.
