MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

This PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and exploits multiple known PDF vulnerabilities including CVE-2009-4324, CVE-2009-0927, CVE-2007-5659, and CVE-2008-2992. The heuristics indicate that the PDF launcher concatenates and evaluates information fields, which is a common technique for exploiting these CVEs. The presence of JavaScript and the exploitation of these vulnerabilities strongly suggest the execution of malicious code, likely to download and run a secondary payload.

Heuristics 8
