T1204.002 Malicious File
The PDF file contains obfuscated JavaScript that leverages multiple CVEs (CVE-2009-0927, CVE-2007-5659, CVE-2008-2992) related to JavaScript execution within Adobe Reader. The script likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload. The presence of multiple exploit-related heuristics and obfuscated JavaScript strongly indicates a malicious intent to compromise the user's system.
Heuristics 9
-
Collab.getIcon — CVE-2009-0927 critical CVE exact CVE_2009_0927PDF 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)
-
Collab.collectEmailInfo — CVE-2007-5659 critical CVE exact CVE_2007_5659PDF JavaScript calls Collab.collectEmailInfo — CVE-2007-5659 is a buffer overflow in Adobe Reader triggered by a long argument or heap-sprayed message field passed to Collab.collectEmailInfo(). Part of a series of Acrobat JS API exploits. (identified after JavaScript deobfuscation)
-
util.printf — CVE-2008-2992 critical CVE exact CVE_2008_2992PDF JavaScript calls util.printf() — CVE-2008-2992 is a stack buffer overflow in Adobe Reader triggered by a long format-specifier argument. Widely exploited in the wild after disclosure. (identified after JavaScript deobfuscation)

-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
-
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPTPDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JSPDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
