MITRE ATT&CK

T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

This PDF contains an embedded VBScript that reconstructs and executes a PE payload named 'svchost.exe'. The embedded script is heavily obfuscated but the heuristic firings and ClamAV signature indicate it's a dropper for a known Trojan family. The ML classifier also strongly suggests maliciousness.

Heuristics 4

VBScript in PDF stream reconstructs and runs a PE payload critical PDF_VBS_HEX_PE_DROPPER

PDF stream contains an HTML/VBScript block that decodes a long hex string into a Windows executable and runs it via WScript.Shell. This is an embedded dropper payload, not ordinary PDF JavaScript.
ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV

ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
Embedded script payload in PDF stream high PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD

PDF stream bytes contain script execution markers such as ActiveXObject/CreateObject, WScript.Shell, PowerShell, or shell-exec primitives. This is stronger than ordinary PDF JavaScript because it indicates a staged external script payload hidden in stream bytes.
Suspicious extracted artifact medium 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.

Extracted artifacts 2

Files carved from inside the sample during analysis.

Filename	Kind	Source	Size
`embedded_vbs_dropper_00000486.vbs` `50b36b292c4a29f5f0d9642bb1487d597e7f817cb538628ff0d791b00e4fac65`	pdf-embedded-script	PDF raw bytes VBScript dropper at offset 0x486	113122 bytes
Detection ClamAV: No threats found Obfuscation or payload: likely Carved artifact contains 1 shell/COM execution token(s). Carved artifact contains 1 long base64-like blob(s).
`svchost.exe` `fd6c69c345f1e32924f0a5bb7393e191b393a78d58e2c6413b03ced7482f2320`	embedded-pe	Decoded PE from PDF VBScript dropper at offset 0x486	56320 bytes
Detection ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Ramnit-9775455-0 Obfuscation or payload: likely Carved artifact entropy is 7.89, consistent with packed or encrypted content.
