T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript and a Flash object (SWF file), indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and PDF_RICHMEDIA heuristics. The presence of an eval() call in the JavaScript suggests code execution. The extracted artifacts include a SWF file and two JavaScript files, one of which is deobfuscated. The overall purpose appears to be the delivery of malicious content via the PDF, likely to exploit vulnerabilities or download additional payloads.

Heuristics 6

  • RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIA
    PDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
  • 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.

Extracted artifacts 3
