MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains obfuscated JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT', 'PDF_JS', 'PDF_EVAL', and 'PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGER'. The ML classifier also strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. The embedded JavaScript file, 'javascript_obj0010_000.js', is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, a common technique for initial access.

Heuristics 5

eval() call high PDF_EVAL

eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
Page-word XOR JavaScript eval stager high PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGER

PDF JavaScript enumerates rendered page words with getPageNthWord/getPageNumWords, extracts encoded byte fragments, XOR-decodes the stage with char-code helpers, and evals the result. This is an old exploit-kit staging pattern and is not normal document JavaScript.
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.
