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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by heuristics as a malicious payload. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The presence of two JavaScript files, 'acroform_b64_00.js' and 'stream_002_off00001ce6.js', suggests the document is designed to exploit a vulnerability and execute code. The exact function of the script is not fully discernible due to potential obfuscation, but its presence and the high ML score point towards a downloader or exploit execution.

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9996

Heuristics 3

  • Embedded script payload in PDF stream medium PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD
    PDF stream bytes contain an HTML/XFA <script> tag without accompanying Windows shell-execution primitives — common in accessible XFA forms but worth surfacing for analyst review.
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • 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.

Extracted artifacts 2
