MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that leverages multiple critical vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader (CVE-2009-4324, CVE-2009-0927, CVE-2007-5659, CVE-2008-2992). The JavaScript is obfuscated and decoded from a split character-table array, indicating an attempt to evade detection. ClamAV also identified this as Js.Exploit.HTML-28, confirming its malicious nature. The primary goal appears to be the exploitation of the PDF reader to achieve arbitrary code execution.
