The PDF contains embedded JavaScript and U3D content, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and PDF_U3D_CVE_RELATED heuristics. The JavaScript stream was found to be deobfuscated and contains calls to unescape(), suggesting it's designed to decode and execute malicious code. The U3D content is also flagged as CVE-related, pointing to exploitability. The primary function appears to be downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as evidenced by the deobfuscated JavaScript.
Heuristics 6
-
U3D/3D content in PDF — Adobe Reader 3D parser CVE-family indicator high PDF_U3D_CVE_RELATEDPDF contains U3D (Universal 3D) or 3D annotation content — CVE-2011-2462 and CVE-2009-3953 are critical vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader's U3D processing that allow arbitrary code execution. U3D content in PDFs is extremely rare in normal documents.
-
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.
-
syncAnnotScan annotation-staging primitive low PDF_FOXIT_SYNCANNOTSCANPDF JavaScript calls syncAnnotScan() — a no-op annotation-enumeration primitive used by exploit-kit JavaScript to stage payload reads from annotation /Subject fields before eval(). Not a vulnerable sink itself; rarely seen in legitimate PDFs. (matched in decompressed stream)
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne 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.
