T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1204.002 Malicious File
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript and RichMedia (Flash) content, indicating an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities. The embedded file 'sploit.swf' is highly suspicious and likely contains the exploit code. The benign URL for adobe.com does not detract from the malicious nature of the embedded exploit. The lack of readable document body text means the primary indicators are the embedded exploit content and associated heuristics.
Heuristics 5
-
RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIAPDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
-
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.
-
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
-
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://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin
