MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link

The PDF sample contains embedded JavaScript that utilizes eval() and unescape() functions, indicative of obfuscation. The critical CVE_2009_0927 heuristic firing confirms the exploitation of this specific vulnerability via a multi-marker percent-array encoded JavaScript. The deobfuscated JavaScript streams suggest the primary intent is to download and execute a secondary payload, aligning with common exploit kit delivery mechanisms.

Heuristics 5

  • Collab.getIcon — CVE-2009-0927 critical CVE exact CVE_2009_0927
    PDF 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_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
  • 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.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One 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.
