MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript T1204.002 Malicious Link/URL T1055.001 Process Injection

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. The critical CVE_2009_4324 heuristic suggests exploitation of a specific vulnerability related to media playback. The JavaScript uses String.fromCharCode for obfuscation, a common technique to hide malicious code. The extracted JavaScript streams, particularly javascript_obj0007_000.js, likely contain code to download and execute a second-stage payload, leveraging the identified CVE. The overall intent appears to be the delivery of further malware.

Heuristics 5

media.newPlayer — CVE-2009-4324 critical CVE exact CVE_2009_4324

PDF JavaScript calls media.newPlayer — CVE-2009-4324 is a use-after-free in Adobe Reader's multimedia plugin triggered by media.newPlayer(). Actively exploited as a zero-day in December 2009.
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.
String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODE

String.fromCharCode found — used to construct payload strings dynamically. Common in benign JavaScript libraries for codepoint manipulation, so this alone is informational; weaponised use is also caught by the dedicated fromCharCode-stage and exploit-shape rules.
