T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link

The critical heuristic firing for CVE_2009_0927 indicates exploitation of a known vulnerability in Adobe Reader. The embedded JavaScript, particularly the deobfuscated stages, contains multiple calls to eval() and unescape(), suggesting it is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. The obfuscation techniques and the use of eval() are common in exploit kits targeting PDF readers.

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 5

  • 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. (identified after JavaScript deobfuscation)
  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
  • 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
