MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link T1071.001 Web Protocols

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that utilizes the 'Collab.getIcon' method, indicating exploitation of CVE-2009-0927. The JavaScript is obfuscated using 'unescape()' and 'eval()' functions, a common technique for hiding malicious code. The heuristic firings and ClamAV detection strongly suggest this is a malicious PDF designed to exploit this known vulnerability. The embedded JavaScript likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload, although the specific URL or payload could not be reconstructed from the provided evidence.

Heuristics 7

Collab.getIcon — CVE-2009-0927 critical CVE exact CVE_2009_0927

PDF JavaScript calls Collab.getIcon — CVE-2009-0927 is a stack buffer overflow in Adobe Reader triggered by Collab.getIcon() with a crafted argument. Allows arbitrary code execution. (identified after JavaScript deobfuscation)
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35930 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35930
eval() call high PDF_EVAL

eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE

unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
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.
