MITRE ATT&CK

T1204.002 Malicious File Execution: Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and triggers a critical heuristic for CVE-2009-0927, indicating exploitation of a known vulnerability in Adobe Reader. The embedded JavaScript, identified as 'javascript_obj0007_000.js', is likely responsible for executing the exploit. ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature. The primary attack vector appears to be leveraging the Collab.getIcon method to achieve arbitrary JavaScript execution.

Heuristics 7

Collab.getIcon — CVE-2009-0927 critical CVE exact CVE_2009_0927

PDF JavaScript calls Collab.getIcon — CVE-2009-0927 is a stack buffer overflow in Adobe Reader triggered by Collab.getIcon() with a crafted argument. Allows arbitrary code execution. (matched in decompressed stream)
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35646 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35646
ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV

ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE

unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
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.
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.
