MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript
T1204.002 Malicious JavaScript
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript triggered by an OpenAction, exploiting CVE-2007-5659 (Collab.collectEmailInfo) and CVE-2008-2992 (util.printf). The embedded JavaScript stream, identified as 'javascript_obj0007_000.js', is highly suspicious and likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature.
Heuristics 8
-
Collab.collectEmailInfo — CVE-2007-5659 critical CVE exact CVE_2007_5659PDF JavaScript calls Collab.collectEmailInfo — CVE-2007-5659 is a buffer overflow in Adobe Reader triggered by a long argument or heap-sprayed message field passed to Collab.collectEmailInfo(). Part of a series of Acrobat JS API exploits. (matched in decompressed stream)
-
util.printf — CVE-2008-2992 critical CVE exact CVE_2008_2992PDF JavaScript calls util.printf() — CVE-2008-2992 is a stack buffer overflow in Adobe Reader triggered by a long format-specifier argument. Widely exploited in the wild after disclosure. (matched in decompressed stream)
-
ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7240865-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7240865-0
-
OpenAction trigger high PDF_OPENACTIONPDF has an /OpenAction — code runs automatically when opened
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
-
Suspicious extracted artifact high 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.
-
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.
