T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious File
This PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, which is a common technique for delivering malicious payloads. The critical heuristic firing for CVE-2008-2992 indicates the exploitation of a known PDF vulnerability. The presence of multiple JavaScript streams, including one with significant obfuscation, suggests an attempt to download and execute a secondary stage. The unescape() call further supports the obfuscation and dynamic loading of malicious code.
Heuristics 5
-
util.printf — CVE-2008-2992 critical CVE exact CVE_2008_2992PDF 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. (matched in decompressed stream)
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
-
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPTPDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JSPDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
