MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and a Flash object, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and PDF_RICHMEDIA heuristics. The PDF_EVAL heuristic suggests that the JavaScript is likely obfuscated and designed to execute arbitrary code. The embedded Flash object (waEUHOXaQoR.swf) and JavaScript stream (javascript_obj0006_000.js) are the primary artifacts, pointing towards a multi-stage attack where the PDF acts as a dropper for further malicious content.

Heuristics 6

  • RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIA
    PDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
  • 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.
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • 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.
