T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1059.007 JavaScript
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that leverages the CVE-2009-0927 vulnerability through `Collab.getIcon`. The script is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload from the URL http://qtg.in/index4.php?src=196&grp=11&trk=0511200519065302&trki=2a5eba0c0d23b57b185d947ddfabe37a&e=7&. This indicates a typical downloader or dropper pattern.

Heuristics 12
-
Collab.getIcon — CVE-2009-0927 critical CVE exact CVE_2009_0927PDF JavaScript calls Collab.getIcon — CVE-2009-0927 is a stack buffer overflow in Adobe Reader triggered by Collab.getIcon() with a crafted argument. Allows arbitrary code execution.
-
PDF JavaScript exploit cluster critical PDF_JS_EXPLOIT_CLUSTERPDF combines an executable JavaScript/action surface with exploit staging indicators such as eval/unescape/fromCharCode, XFA script content, or a related CVE pattern. Benign form JavaScript remains low-severity, but this correlated cluster is high-confidence malicious behavior.
-
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.CVE_2009_0927-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.CVE_2009_0927-1
-
ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAVClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits
-
Generic recovered JavaScript exploit stage high PDF_GENERIC_STAGE_RECOVERYBounded static stage recovery exposed hidden JavaScript through generic transforms such as null-byte collapse, percent decoding, marker replacement, arithmetic character codes, fromCharCode, numeric arrays, numeric-array minus-key decoders, alphabet-index arrays, /Producer half-difference metadata arrays, hex literals, marker-stripped Base64 literals, custom 6-bit XOR table decoders, or repeated-marker hex carriers. This rule is emitted only when the recovered stage contains exploit-like Acrobat JavaScript or shellcode markers.
-
PDF JavaScript shellcode contains an embedded download URL high PDF_JS_SHELLCODE_DOWNLOAD_URLDecoded PDF JavaScript shellcode contains a hardcoded http(s) URL stored as little-endian %uXXXX Unicode escapes. Reader exploit shellcode embeds the second-stage fetch URL this way and pulls it down with a urlmon/URLDownloadToFile-style download-and-execute (commodity downloader behaviour rather than a specific Acrobat CVE).
-
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPTPDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JSPDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne 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.
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL http://qtg.in/index4.php?src=196&grp=11&trk=0511200519065302&trki=2a5eba0c0d23b57b185d947ddfabe37a&e=7&
