Malware Insights

This PDF exploits CVE-2011-2462, a known vulnerability in Adobe Reader's U3D parser, using a JavaScript heap spray. The embedded JavaScript is designed to trigger this exploit, likely leading to the download and execution of a secondary payload. The presence of U3D content and JavaScript actions strongly indicates malicious intent.

Heuristics 8

  • Adobe Reader U3D parser exploit with JavaScript heap spray critical CVE likely CVE_2011_2462_U3D_HEAPSPRAY
    PDF combines U3D/3D annotation content with JavaScript heap-spray shellcode. Public CVE-2011-2462 exploit chains use a crafted U3D stream and JavaScript heap spray to control memory during Adobe Reader's U3D parser corruption.
  • U3D/3D content in PDF — Adobe Reader 3D parser CVE-family indicator high CVE related PDF_U3D_CVE_RELATED
    PDF contains U3D (Universal 3D) or 3D annotation content — CVE-2011-2462 and CVE-2009-3953 are critical vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader's U3D processing that allow arbitrary code execution. U3D content in PDFs is extremely rare in normal documents.
