MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains obfuscated JavaScript, including calls to `eval()` and `unescape()`, and specifically leverages the `Collab.getIcon` method, which is indicative of the CVE-2009-0927 exploit. This exploit allows for the execution of arbitrary JavaScript within the context of Adobe Reader. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 7

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)
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35930 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35930
eval() call high PDF_EVAL

eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE

unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
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.
