MITRE ATT&CK

T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and exploits known vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader related to U3D content (CVE-2009-3459, CVE-2009-3953). The deobfuscated JavaScript attempts to evaluate a string that is likely a malicious payload or a downloader. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness.

Adobe Reader U3D auto-activated 3D annotation — CVE-2009-3459 critical CVE likely CVE_2009_3459_U3D_AUTOACTIVATE

PDF contains a /Subtype /3D annotation that is configured to auto-activate on page view (/3DA <</A /PV /AIS /I>>) alongside a /U3D stream and JavaScript. This is the document shape used by CVE-2009-3459 (Adobe Reader U3D CLODProgressiveMeshDeclaration heap overflow, APSB09-15): the U3D parser runs without any user interaction once the page is rendered, while the accompanying JavaScript prepares a heap-spray to land controlled memory inside the corrupted allocation.
Adobe Reader U3D CLODProgressiveMeshDeclaration exploit critical CVE likely CVE_2009_3953

PDF combines malformed U3D 3D content with JavaScript/action activation. CVE-2009-3953 is an Adobe Reader/Acrobat U3D CLODProgressiveMeshDeclaration array-boundary vulnerability triggered by malformed U3D data in a PDF.
U3D/3D content in PDF — Adobe Reader 3D parser CVE-family indicator high CVE related PDF_U3D_CVE_RELATED

PDF contains U3D (Universal 3D) or 3D annotation content — CVE-2011-2462 and CVE-2009-3953 are critical vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader's U3D processing that allow arbitrary code execution. U3D content in PDFs is extremely rare in normal documents.
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.
