MITRE ATT&CK
T1559.002 Component Object Model Hijacking T1204.002 Malicious File T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript and a Flash (SWF) file, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and PDF_RICHMEDIA heuristics. The embedded SWF file, named Tatsumaki.swf, suggests a potential exploit or malicious content delivery. The presence of unknown URLs related to XFA forms also warrants attention. The combination of these elements points to a likely attack pattern involving the exploitation of embedded content within the PDF.

Heuristics 6

  • RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIA
    PDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
  • 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.
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One 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.
