MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript T1204.001 Malicious Link/Object T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded and obfuscated JavaScript, triggering multiple critical heuristics related to known Adobe Reader exploits (CVE-2009-4324, CVE-2009-0927, CVE-2007-5659, CVE-2008-2992). The deobfuscated JavaScript stream indicates an attempt to exploit these vulnerabilities, likely to download and execute a secondary payload. ClamAV also identified this as Js.Exploit.HTML-28.

Heuristics 8

PDF JavaScript calls media.newPlayer — CVE-2009-4324 is a use-after-free in Adobe Reader's multimedia plugin triggered by media.newPlayer(). Actively exploited as a zero-day in December 2009. (identified after JavaScript deobfuscation)
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)
