T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that is automatically executed upon opening, as indicated by the PDF_OPENACTION_JS_SUBMITFORM heuristic. The document body explicitly instructs the user to open the file in Adobe Acrobat Reader and allow prompts, suggesting a social engineering lure. The embedded JavaScript is designed to submit form data to the URL http://2fa.com-token-auth.com/XcmVOjaXBpZWy50X2lkPTQMyMjA1LeMTA2pMCZjYW1wHYWWlnbl9ydW5faWQ9OTkzDMzI1JmFjdGlvbj1hdHRhY2htZW50#FDF, likely to exfiltrate information or redirect the user to a malicious site.

Heuristics 4

  • PDF auto-runs JavaScript form submission on open critical PDF_OPENACTION_JS_SUBMITFORM
    PDF uses /OpenAction to run JavaScript that calls submitForm() with an external HTTP(S) URL. Opening the document triggers the outbound submission path without requiring a normal link click.
  • 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 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.
