MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is a PDF file exhibiting a high number of streams, indicative of obfuscation or heap spraying. It also contains JPXDecode content related to CVE-2018-4990, suggesting an exploit for client execution. While an embedded URL was found, it was confirmed as benign. The lack of readable document body text or scripts prevents a more detailed analysis of the specific lure or payload.

Heuristics 3

  • JPXDecode + active content — JPEG2000 CVE-family indicator high CVE related PDF_JPX_CVE_2018_4990_RELATED
    PDF uses /JPXDecode (JPEG2000) alongside JavaScript, XFA, or RichMedia indicators. This matches the delivery pattern for Adobe Reader JPEG2000 parser exploit families, including CVE-2018-4990, but does not prove the exact malformed JP2/JPX primitive.
  • Unusually high stream count medium PDF_MANY_STREAMS
    PDF contains 501+ stream objects — may indicate heap spray or heavy obfuscation
  • 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.
