MITRE ATT&CK
T1559.002 Component Object Model Hijacking 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. While a benign URL was extracted, the presence of these exploit vectors strongly suggests malicious intent.

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
  • 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.
    URL http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin
