MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The JavaScript stream includes an eval() call and uses String.fromCharCode, suggesting obfuscation. The primary function of the script appears to be downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as evidenced by the obfuscated code within the embedded javascript_obj0007_000.js file. The extracted artifact 'javascript_obj0007_000.js' is also listed as a suspicious extracted artifact.

Heuristics 5

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