T1059.001 JavaScript
T1204.002 Malicious Link
The PDF file contains obfuscated JavaScript that utilizes the `eval()` and `unescape()` functions, indicative of malicious intent. The critical heuristic firing for CVE-2009-0927 specifically points to the exploitation of the `Collab.getIcon` method. This JavaScript is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload, likely exploiting a known vulnerability in older versions of Adobe Reader.
Heuristics 5
-
Collab.getIcon — CVE-2009-0927 critical CVE exact CVE_2009_0927PDF 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_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.
