MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and triggers multiple critical heuristics related to known PDF exploits (CVE-2009-4324, CVE-2009-0927, CVE-2007-5659, CVE-2008-2992). These exploits leverage PDF \/Info fields to execute arbitrary code. ClamAV also detected this as Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36895. The primary attack vector appears to be the exploitation of these vulnerabilities to run malicious scripts.

Heuristics 8
