MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript T1559.002 Component Object Model Hijacking

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and a RichMedia (Flash) object, indicating an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities. The heuristics indicate an eval() call and JavaScript actions, suggesting the embedded scripts are designed to execute arbitrary code. The extracted artifacts, including a SWF file and JavaScript files, are likely components of a multi-stage attack. The primary intent appears to be the execution of the embedded Flash object, which is a common method for delivering further malicious payloads.

Heuristics 6

  • RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIA
    PDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
  • 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.
  • 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.
