MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

This PDF file exploits multiple known vulnerabilities including CVE-2009-4324, CVE-2009-0927, CVE-2007-5659, and CVE-2008-2992. It utilizes a character-table indexed JavaScript stager to reconstruct and execute malicious code. The primary intent appears to be the exploitation of PDF reader vulnerabilities to achieve arbitrary code execution, likely for further payload delivery.

Heuristics 9

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)
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)
Collab.collectEmailInfo — CVE-2007-5659 critical CVE exact CVE_2007_5659

PDF 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_2992

PDF 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)
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-91 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-91
Character-table JavaScript eval stager high PDF_JS_CHAR_TABLE_EVAL_STAGER

PDF JavaScript reconstructs an exploit stage by indexing into a small character table, appending hundreds of one-character fragments, joining the array, and evaluating the result. This static fallback fires only after the bounded decoder recovers an exploit-like stage, so it catches this obfuscation even when no single CVE API signature is available.
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.
