MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript and a Flash RichMedia object that exploits CVE-2010-1297. This exploit is designed to execute shellcode, which is present within the decompressed SWF stream. The embedded JavaScript likely facilitates the execution of this exploit and potentially downloads a secondary payload, as indicated by the ClamAV detection of 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35955'.

Heuristics 8

  • Adobe Flash authplay SWF exploit in PDF — CVE-2010-1297 critical CVE likely CVE_2010_1297_FLASH_RICHMEDIA
    PDF combines RichMedia Flash activation, a crafted SWF with ActionScript prototype/AVM-era markers or the AES-PHP/authplay variant markers, and PDF-side shellcode heap-spray staging. This is the static delivery shape associated with CVE-2010-1297 in Adobe Reader's bundled authplay.dll.
  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35955 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35955
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV 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.
  • RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIA
    PDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
  • JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPT
    PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS
    PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • 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.
