MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

This PDF file contains a launch action that executes cmd.exe, which in turn attempts to create and execute a VBScript. The script is obfuscated but appears to download a payload from the URL http://pulpm.in/x/img.php?d=1. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness, and the combination of PDF launch actions and embedded script execution points to a downloader or droppper.

Heuristics 4

Launch action high PDF_LAUNCH

PDF contains a /Launch action with an unresolved or extension-less target — treat as potentially dangerous
Embedded script payload in PDF stream high PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD

PDF stream bytes contain script execution markers such as ActiveXObject/CreateObject, WScript.Shell, PowerShell, or shell-exec primitives. This is stronger than ordinary PDF JavaScript because it indicates a staged external script payload hidden in stream bytes.
/Launch action target: cmd high PDF_LAUNCH_COMMAND

PDF /Launch action specifies an executable target with parameters '/c echo B="m.vbs":With CreateObject(StrReverse("PTTHLMX.2LMXSM"'.
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL

One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
