T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1059.007 JavaScript
The PDF document contains an embedded Adobe Flash RichMedia object that exploits CVE-2010-1297. This exploit is designed to execute arbitrary code, likely by leveraging the embedded JavaScript. The JavaScript stream, when deobfuscated, appears to construct a payload intended for execution, potentially downloading and running a second-stage exploit or malware. The ML classifier strongly indicates malicious intent.

-
RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIAPDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
-
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.
-
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
-
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://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#
