T1204 Malicious Link T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and RichMedia (Flash) content, as indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and PDF_RICHMEDIA heuristics. ClamAV detection of 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35955' on both the main file and an extracted artifact confirms its malicious nature. The embedded Flash file 'WpuVlEGnF.swf' and the JavaScript stream 'javascript_obj0006_000.js' are the primary indicators of compromise, suggesting the document is designed to exploit vulnerabilities and potentially download further payloads.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35955 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35955
  • 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.
  • 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 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
