MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment
T1204.002 Malicious File
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript streams, with one stream being particularly large and obfuscated. The presence of `unescape()` calls and U3D content related to CVEs indicates a high likelihood of exploit execution. The ClamAV detection 'Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject' further supports the malicious nature. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload.
Heuristics 6
-
U3D/3D content in PDF — Adobe Reader 3D parser CVE-family indicator high PDF_U3D_CVE_RELATEDPDF contains U3D (Universal 3D) or 3D annotation content — CVE-2011-2462 and CVE-2009-3953 are critical vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader's U3D processing that allow arbitrary code execution. U3D content in PDFs is extremely rare in normal documents.
