MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics including PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. A high-confidence heuristic, PDF_EVAL, points to the use of eval() within the script, which is often used to deobfuscate and execute malicious code. The presence of obfuscated JavaScript suggests the script's purpose is to download and execute a secondary payload. No specific family could be identified.

Heuristics 4
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
