MITRE ATT&CK

T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.001 PowerShell

This PDF file is identified as malicious due to critical heuristic firings indicating an exploit for CVE-2009-0927, specifically targeting the Collab.getIcon function. The presence of embedded JavaScript, further confirmed by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics, suggests the execution of malicious code. The unescape() and String.fromCharCode calls within the JavaScript indicate obfuscation techniques commonly used to hide malicious payloads. The extracted artifact 'javascript_obj0029_000.js' is likely responsible for the malicious behavior, potentially downloading and executing a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 8

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. (matched in decompressed stream)
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-11286 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-11286
ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV

ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
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.
String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODE

String.fromCharCode found — used to construct payload strings dynamically. Common in benign JavaScript libraries for codepoint manipulation, so this alone is informational; weaponised use is also caught by the dedicated fromCharCode-stage and exploit-shape rules. (matched inside decoded stream)
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE

One 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.
