T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript and a RichMedia (Flash) object, indicating an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities. The embedded JavaScript stream, named 'javascript_obj0017_000.js', contains obfuscated code with eval() calls, strongly suggesting it's designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The presence of an embedded SWF file ('exploit.swf') further supports the exploit vector. The obfuscated nature of the script and the lack of specific indicators prevent confident family attribution.
Heuristics 6
-
RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIAPDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
-
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.
