MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

This PDF file was flagged as malicious by an ML classifier and contains embedded JavaScript. The JavaScript stream utilizes eval() and String.fromCharCode, indicating obfuscation. The primary intent appears to be downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as suggested by the heuristic firings and the presence of deobfuscated JavaScript. The specific download URL or execution details could not be fully reconstructed due to obfuscation.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 5

  • 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.
  • String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODE
    String.fromCharCode found — used to construct payload strings dynamically. Common in benign JavaScript libraries for codepoint manipulation, so this alone is informational; weaponised use is also caught by the dedicated fromCharCode-stage and exploit-shape rules. (matched inside decoded stream)
  • 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.
