T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
This PDF file is identified as malicious due to the critical firing of CVE_2011_2462_RICHMEDIA_U3D, indicating an exploit targeting Adobe Reader's U3D/RichMedia parser. The presence of an embedded file and a secondary embedded PDF further suggests a multi-stage attack. The primary goal appears to be exploiting this vulnerability to gain initial execution, likely for downloading and executing further malicious content.

Heuristics 5
-
Adobe Reader U3D/RichMedia parser exploit critical CVE likely CVE_2011_2462_RICHMEDIA_U3DPDF combines U3D stream markers with RichMedia and JavaScript/XFA activation surfaces. This is the U3D RichMedia exploit document shape associated with CVE-2011-2462, even though the U3D marker is not exposed through the canonical /Subtype /U3D dictionary.
-
Secondary embedded PDF body has suspicious static findings critical POLYGLOT_CHILD_PDF_STATIC_TRIAGEA valid PDF body was found at a nonzero offset inside another container and its carved contents matched PDF exploit or lure heuristics. This catches polyglots where the top-level magic routes to ZIP/OLE while a PDF reader or downstream parser opens the hidden PDF payload.
-
RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIAPDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector (matched inside decoded stream)
-
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload (matched inside decoded stream)
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#
