T1204.002 Malicious File
T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and a U3D stream, which is flagged as a potential indicator for Adobe Reader 3D parser exploits. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The embedded JavaScript, particularly the 'deobfuscated.js' artifact, likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload, contributing to the overall malicious intent of the document.

Heuristics 5
-
U3D/3D content in PDF — Adobe Reader 3D parser CVE-family indicator high PDF_U3D_CVE_RELATEDPDF contains U3D (Universal 3D) or 3D annotation content — CVE-2011-2462 and CVE-2009-3953 are critical vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader's U3D processing that allow arbitrary code execution. U3D content in PDFs is extremely rare in normal documents.
-
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.
-
syncAnnotScan annotation-staging primitive low PDF_FOXIT_SYNCANNOTSCANPDF JavaScript calls syncAnnotScan() — a no-op annotation-enumeration primitive used by exploit-kit JavaScript to stage payload reads from annotation /Subject fields before eval(). Not a vulnerable sink itself; rarely seen in legitimate PDFs. (matched in decompressed stream)
-
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.
