T1204.001 Malicious Link
The PDF sample contains multiple embedded JavaScript streams, with one stream heavily obfuscated and utilizing eval() and unescape() functions. The CVE-2008-2992 heuristic indicates the exploitation of a known vulnerability in Adobe Reader via the util.printf() function, which is used to decode a second-stage payload. The deobfuscated JavaScript confirms the use of eval() and unescape() to construct and execute malicious code, likely for downloading and executing further stages.
Heuristics 5
-
util.printf — CVE-2008-2992 critical CVE exact CVE_2008_2992PDF JavaScript calls util.printf() — CVE-2008-2992 is a stack buffer overflow in Adobe Reader triggered by a long format-specifier argument. Widely exploited in the wild after disclosure. (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.
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
