The PDF sample contains obfuscated JavaScript, including multiple calls to eval() and unescape(). The critical CVE-2009-4324 heuristic indicates the use of a known exploit for Adobe Reader. The deobfuscated JavaScript streams suggest the primary intent is to download and execute a second-stage payload. No specific family could be identified, but the exploit and obfuscation techniques are common in exploit kits.
Heuristics 5
-
media.newPlayer — CVE-2009-4324 critical CVE exact CVE_2009_4324PDF 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)
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
