MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains a launch action that executes cmd.exe. This command attempts to construct and write a VBScript file named 'm.vbs' to the user's temporary directory. The script itself is not fully extracted, but the presence of a launch action and an embedded script payload strongly suggests the document is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload from the embedded URL. The confidence is slightly reduced due to the incomplete script extraction.

Heuristics 4

Launch action high PDF_LAUNCH

PDF contains a /Launch action with an unresolved or extension-less target — treat as potentially dangerous
Embedded script payload in PDF stream high PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD

PDF stream bytes contain script execution markers such as ActiveXObject/CreateObject, WScript.Shell, PowerShell, or shell-exec primitives. This is stronger than ordinary PDF JavaScript because it indicates a staged external script payload hidden in stream bytes.
/Launch action target: cmd high PDF_LAUNCH_COMMAND

PDF /Launch action specifies an executable target with parameters '/c echo B="m.vbs":With CreateObject(StrReverse("PTTHLMX.2LMXSM"'.
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.
