The PDF file was flagged by a machine learning classifier as malicious and contains embedded JavaScript and RichMedia (Flash) content. The presence of an embedded file named 'sploit.swf' further indicates a malicious intent, likely to exploit vulnerabilities or execute further stages of an attack. The embedded URL, though confirmed benign, is part of the attack infrastructure.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9999

Heuristics 4

  • 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 file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One 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://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin
