T1059.007 JavaScript
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript that utilizes a custom Base64 decoding function. This script is designed to decode and execute a further payload, indicated by the 'PDF_JS_EXPLOIT_CLUSTER' and 'PDF_UNESCAPE' heuristic firings. The decoded content likely leads to the download of a second-stage payload from the URL http://www.bitstream.com.

Heuristics 7
-
PDF JavaScript exploit cluster critical PDF_JS_EXPLOIT_CLUSTERPDF combines an executable JavaScript/action surface with exploit staging indicators such as eval/unescape/fromCharCode, XFA script content, or a related CVE pattern. Benign form JavaScript remains low-severity, but this correlated cluster is high-confidence malicious behavior.
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits
-
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.
-
XFA form low PDF_XFAPDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne 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.
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL http://www.bitstream.com
