Malware Insights
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and a Flash (SWF) file, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT, PDF_JS, and PDF_RICHMEDIA heuristics. The embedded SWF file, named TyPWoIJRMY.swf, is a strong indicator of malicious intent, as Flash content is often used to deliver exploits. The JavaScript stream, when deobfuscated, likely facilitates the execution of the embedded SWF or a further payload. The exact functionality of the script is difficult to ascertain due to obfuscation, but its presence alongside the SWF strongly suggests an exploit delivery mechanism.
Heuristics 5
-
RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIAPDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
-
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.
-
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
-
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.
