MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded SWF (Flash) files, indicated by the PDF_RICHMEDIA and EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE heuristics. One of the embedded files is named 'demomm.swf', which is a common indicator for Flash-based exploits. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF as malicious. The presence of embedded Flash content strongly suggests an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities or deliver a secondary payload.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.5151

Heuristics 5

  • RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIA
    PDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector (matched inside decoded stream)
  • 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
  • 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.
