T1204 Malicious File Execution T1204.002 Malicious File Execution: Malicious File T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter T1059.003 Command and Scripting Interpreter: Windows Command Shell T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application

The PDF file contains a launch action that executes a command to download and run a VBScript from the URL http://itditd.co.cc/capt/tmp/m.vbs. The embedded script itself is truncated but appears to be part of a dropper mechanism, attempting to create and execute a file named 'm.vbs'. This indicates a multi-stage attack designed to deliver a malicious payload.

Heuristics 5

Adobe Reader Launch action VBS dropper command chain critical CVE likely CVE_2010_1240_LAUNCH_VBS_DROPPER

PDF uses a CVE-2010-1240-style Launch action: cmd.exe is invoked from /Launch and builds a VBS stage that uses ADODB.Stream, MSXML2.XMLHTTP, or FileSystemObject to write or execute a payload.
Launch action high PDF_LAUNCH

PDF contains a /Launch action with an unresolved or extension-less target — treat as potentially dangerous
Embedded script payload in PDF stream high PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD

PDF stream bytes contain script execution markers such as ActiveXObject/CreateObject, WScript.Shell, PowerShell, or shell-exec primitives. This is stronger than ordinary PDF JavaScript because it indicates a staged external script payload hidden in stream bytes.
/Launch action target: cmd high PDF_LAUNCH_COMMAND

PDF /Launch action specifies an executable target with parameters '/c echo B="m.vbs":With CreateObject(StrReverse("PTTHLMX.2LMXSM"'.
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL

One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
