MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that is obfuscated and utilizes String.fromCharCode, indicating malicious intent. The critical heuristic firing for CVE-2009-4324 confirms the exploitation of a known vulnerability to execute this script. The script is likely designed to download and execute a second-stage payload from the embedded URL http://www.imagepdf.com/.

Heuristics 7

media.newPlayer — CVE-2009-4324 critical CVE exact CVE_2009_4324

PDF JavaScript calls media.newPlayer — CVE-2009-4324 is a use-after-free in Adobe Reader's multimedia plugin triggered by media.newPlayer(). Actively exploited as a zero-day in December 2009. (identified after JavaScript deobfuscation)
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.
String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODE

String.fromCharCode found — used to construct payload strings dynamically. Common in benign JavaScript libraries for codepoint manipulation, so this alone is informational; weaponised use is also caught by the dedicated fromCharCode-stage and exploit-shape rules. (matched inside decoded stream)
External URI info PDF_URI

PDF contains an external URL action
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.
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.
