MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript T1559.002 Component Object Model

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript and a RichMedia (Flash) object. The JavaScript, particularly the eval() call, is highly suspicious and likely responsible for loading and executing the embedded Flash file 'TyPWoIJRMY.swf'. This multi-stage approach is commonly used to obfuscate the initial malicious payload and bypass security controls. The extracted JavaScript files 'javascript_obj0006_000.js' and 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js' are indicative of the exploit chain.

Heuristics 6

  • RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIA
    PDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
  • 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.
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • 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.
