MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.003 Windows Command Shell
T1204.002 Malicious Link
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript and a launch action that executes cmd.exe. This indicates an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities within the PDF reader to run arbitrary commands. The command execution instruction suggests the malware is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. While many URLs are benign, the presence of a launch action targeting cmd.exe is a critical indicator of malicious intent.
Heuristics 10
-
Launch action critical PDF_LAUNCHPDF contains a /Launch action whose target is an executable, URL, or UNC path — can start an external application
-
/Launch action target: cmd.exe critical PDF_LAUNCH_COMMANDPDF /Launch action specifies an executable target with parameters '/Q /C %HOMEDRIVE%&cd %HOMEPATH%&(if exist "Desktop\\crime.pdf" (cd "Desktop"' — references a known-dangerous executable (cmd, PowerShell, etc.).
-
ClamAV: Pdf.Tool.Agent-1388586 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Tool.Agent-1388586
-
Clickable PDF combines external action with parser-evasion structure high PDF_ACTION_PARSER_EVASIONPDF has an external clickable URI together with object graph or xref structures that make parsers disagree, such as divergent duplicate objects, parser divergence, or xref offset mismatch. That combination is stronger than a plain link: the document is both an outward-action carrier and a parser-confusion/evasion sample.
-
Visible LOLBin command execution instruction high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMANDDocument contains instructions or visible command text involving Windows script/execution tools such as PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, or regsvr32
-
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
-
External URI info PDF_URIPDF contains an external URL action
-
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.netaddiction.com/faq.htm
