T1204 Malicious Link
T1204.002 Malicious File
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and a Flash file (CVE-2010-1297.swf), both of which are flagged as malicious by ClamAV. The ML classifier also strongly indicates maliciousness. The presence of the CVE-2010-1297.swf suggests exploitation of a known Flash Player vulnerability, likely to download and execute a further payload. The embedded JavaScript streams are obfuscated, but the overall behavior points to a malicious exploit document.

Heuristics 7
-
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35955 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35955
-
ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAVClamAV 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.
-
RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIAPDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
-
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.
-
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
-
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.
