MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/Script Execution T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and a Flash object (SWF). The JavaScript, particularly the eval() call, is highly suspicious and likely responsible for loading and executing the embedded Flash content. The presence of these elements strongly suggests an exploit chain designed to deliver a secondary payload. The extracted artifacts indicate a multi-stage attack involving JavaScript and Flash.

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.
