MITRE ATT&CK

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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that is heavily obfuscated and designed to exploit multiple Adobe Reader vulnerabilities. The heuristics indicate that this JavaScript is decoded by splitting a numeric array, mapping it through a character table, and then evaluating the result, which is a common technique for delivering exploits. The ClamAV detection of 'Js.Exploit.HTML-28' further confirms the malicious nature of the embedded script, likely leading to the download and execution of a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 8

media.newPlayer — CVE-2009-4324 critical CVE exact CVE_2009_4324

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)
