T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution: Malicious File
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript and a Flash object, indicating an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities. The high-confidence heuristics for PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, PDF_RICHMEDIA, and PDF_EVAL, along with the presence of embedded JavaScript files, strongly suggest that the document is designed to execute malicious code. The eval() call within the JavaScript stream is particularly concerning, as it is often used to deobfuscate and execute further malicious commands, likely leading to the download of a second-stage payload.
Heuristics 6
-
RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIAPDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
-
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.
-
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne 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.
