T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and a U3D (3D content) stream, triggering heuristics related to JavaScript execution and potential exploitation of Adobe Reader 3D parser vulnerabilities. The presence of deobfuscated JavaScript files suggests the script is designed to perform malicious actions, likely downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The specific JavaScript streams and the U3D content are the primary indicators of compromise.
Heuristics 5
-
U3D/3D content in PDF — Adobe Reader 3D parser CVE-family indicator high PDF_U3D_CVE_RELATEDPDF 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_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.
-
syncAnnotScan annotation-staging primitive low PDF_FOXIT_SYNCANNOTSCANPDF JavaScript calls syncAnnotScan() — a no-op annotation-enumeration primitive used by exploit-kit JavaScript to stage payload reads from annotation /Subject fields before eval(). Not a vulnerable sink itself; rarely seen in legitimate PDFs. (matched in decompressed stream)
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne 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.
