Spoilers for Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover, Re:coded, and Dream Drop Distance:
I thought that Master Xehanort (and maybe Xigbar in an attempt to betray him) was going to be the one who was after the black box, but I guess I was wrong (unless he still is and it just hasn't been revealed to us yet). However, now that we know that Maleficent and Pete are after the black box, I think that we have enough to start theorizing on what's inside it.
First, we must ask the question: "Do we have any idea what Maleficent and Pete's goals are?" Yes, we do know what their goals are. In the Re:coded movie in Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX, Maleficent tells Pete that the datascape reminded her of the Book of Prophecies. And after telling him what the Book of Prophecies can do, she tells him, "Don't you think it might just be worth our while to search for a connection. Perhaps there's a link between that so-called journal of theirs and the Book of Prophecies." She then says, "First, we must take possession of this "data" of theirs." From this, it is made clear that Maleficent and Pete's goals have shifted to the Book of Prophecies. We know that from this time until Dream Drop Distance, they were trying to get their hands on the World Data, as Maleficent said they would try to do. However, since they are now looking for the black box, does that mean that they gave up on getting their hands on the World Data, or did they find another connection to the Book of Prophecies that they think is easier to obtain?
Since Maleficent and Pete are after the power of the Book of Prophecies, maybe the black box has a connection to it somehow. If I were to take a guess, I think that Maleficent and Pete are looking for the black box because they think it has either a connection to the Book of Prophecies or the Book of Prophecies itself is inside it (maybe the black box is included in the original legend of the Keyblade War, but that part of the legend was lost over time to most people). However, I think that the black box contains something much different than what they are expecting. Why would Luxu seem so shocked when he heard what was in it if it was something as innocent as a copy of the Book of Prophecies? I am starting to think that the Master of Masters just might have put his heart in there.

Those are just my thoughts. What do you think?
