MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell
T1204.002 Malicious File
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript with an eval() call, indicating an attempt to execute arbitrary code. The JavaScript stream also references a file named 'VFnPQmbNQQIdQJV.swf', which is likely a secondary payload. The presence of ASCIIHexDecode filter with exploit indicators further supports malicious intent. The primary attack pattern is code execution via embedded JavaScript.
Heuristics 5
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
-
ASCIIHexDecode filter (with exploit indicators) medium PDF_FILTER_HEXHex-encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — often used to hide payload or shellcode bytes
-
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPTPDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JSPDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
