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

The PDF file contains multiple heuristics indicating malicious activity, including the use of JPXDecode related to CVE-2018-4990 and a high stream count suggesting obfuscation or heap spraying. The presence of embedded JBIG2 streams further supports the exploitation of PDF vulnerabilities. While no specific URLs or scripts were directly indicative of malicious intent, the file structure and heuristic firings strongly suggest it's designed to exploit a client-side vulnerability for code execution, likely as a spearphishing attachment.

  • Nyx PDF Classifier clean score 0.0565

Heuristics 5

  • 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.
  • JBIG2Decode filter medium PDF_JBIG2
    JBIG2 image decoder present — historically used in zero-click exploits
  • Unusually high stream count medium PDF_MANY_STREAMS
    PDF contains 501+ stream objects — may indicate heap spray or heavy obfuscation
  • 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.
  • 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.
