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

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript and a RichMedia (Flash) object. The heuristics indicate an eval() call within the JavaScript, suggesting obfuscation and dynamic code execution. The embedded artifacts, including a SWF file and JavaScript files, point towards a multi-stage attack. The primary intent appears to be the execution of the embedded Flash object, which likely serves as a downloader or initial exploit stage.

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.
