T1204.002 Malicious File
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and a RichMedia (Flash) object, indicating an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities. The embedded 'javascript_obj0017_000.js' file and the 'exploit.swf' artifact are suspicious. The JavaScript uses an unescape() call, a common technique for obfuscating malicious code. The script likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload, contributing to the malicious verdict.
Heuristics 6
-
RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIAPDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits
-
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.
-
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
-
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.
