MITRE ATT&CK
T1559.002 Component Object Model Hijacking

The PDF file was flagged as malicious by an ML classifier and contains embedded JavaScript and RichMedia (Flash) content. The presence of an embedded SWF file named 'sploit.swf' further indicates a malicious intent, likely to exploit vulnerabilities within the PDF reader or the Flash player. The embedded URL, though confirmed benign, was present in the document text.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 4

  • RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIA
    PDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
  • 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 file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • 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.
    URL http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin
