MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript T1204.002 Malicious File T1071.001 Web Protocols

This PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that leverages multiple known vulnerabilities (CVE-2009-0927, CVE-2007-5659, CVE-2008-2992) through Acrobat API calls like Collab.getIcon, Collab.collectEmailInfo, and util.printf. The JavaScript is obfuscated using eval() and unescape() functions, indicating an attempt to hide its malicious actions, which likely involve downloading and executing a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection of 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35649' further supports its malicious nature.

Heuristics 9

Collab.getIcon — CVE-2009-0927 critical CVE exact CVE_2009_0927

PDF JavaScript calls Collab.getIcon — CVE-2009-0927 is a stack buffer overflow in Adobe Reader triggered by Collab.getIcon() with a crafted argument. Allows arbitrary code execution. (identified after JavaScript deobfuscation)
Collab.collectEmailInfo — CVE-2007-5659 critical CVE exact CVE_2007_5659

PDF JavaScript calls Collab.collectEmailInfo — CVE-2007-5659 is a buffer overflow in Adobe Reader triggered by a long argument or heap-sprayed message field passed to Collab.collectEmailInfo(). Part of a series of Acrobat JS API exploits. (identified after JavaScript deobfuscation)
util.printf — CVE-2008-2992 critical CVE exact CVE_2008_2992

PDF JavaScript calls util.printf() — CVE-2008-2992 is a stack buffer overflow in Adobe Reader triggered by a long format-specifier argument. Widely exploited in the wild after disclosure. (identified after JavaScript deobfuscation)
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35649 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35649
eval() call high PDF_EVAL

eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE

unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
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.
