MITRE ATT&CK

T1204 Malicious Link T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.007 JavaScript

This PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that utilizes character-table decoding and eval stagers to exploit multiple Adobe Reader vulnerabilities including CVE-2009-4324, CVE-2009-0927, CVE-2007-5659, and CVE-2008-2992. The primary intent appears to be the execution of a second-stage payload via these exploits, as indicated by the 'Dropped-91' ClamAV detection.

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.Dropped-91 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-91
Large character-table JavaScript eval stager high PDF_JS_LARGE_CHAR_TABLE_EVAL_STAGER

PDF JavaScript contains a large numeric index array, a short character table, an indirect eval sink, and a long loop that reconstructs a hidden stage. This is an exploit-kit staging technique even when the recovered first stage is still encoded.
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.
