T1204.002 Malicious File
This PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and a Flash object, both of which are commonly used to exploit vulnerabilities. The embedded JavaScript stream, named 'javascript_obj0017_000.js', contains obfuscated code with eval() calls, indicating an attempt to hide malicious actions. The presence of a RichMedia (Flash) object further suggests an exploit attempt. The script likely downloads and executes a secondary payload, as indicated by the obfuscated nature and the use of eval().
Heuristics 6
-
RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIAPDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
-
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.
-
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
-
