MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and a RichMedia (Flash) object, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and PDF_RICHMEDIA heuristics. The embedded artifact 'TyPWoIJRMY.swf' suggests an attempt to leverage Flash vulnerabilities or deliver further malicious content. The presence of JavaScript streams further supports the likelihood of an exploit or payload delivery mechanism. The confidence is moderate due to the lack of specific script content that could be definitively analyzed.

Heuristics 5

  • RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIA
    PDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
  • JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPT
    PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS
    PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
