MITRE ATT&CK

T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.001 PowerShell

This PDF document is malicious, exploiting multiple Adobe Reader vulnerabilities including CVE-2009-0927 (Collab.getIcon), CVE-2007-5659 (Collab.collectEmailInfo), and CVE-2008-2992 (util.printf). The presence of embedded JavaScript and an OpenAction trigger indicates an attempt to execute arbitrary code upon opening. The primary attack vector appears to be leveraging these known exploits to deliver a secondary payload, likely facilitated by the extracted JavaScript file.

Heuristics 9

Collab.getIcon — CVE-2009-0927 critical CVE exact CVE_2009_0927

PDF JavaScript calls Collab.getIcon — CVE-2009-0927 is a stack buffer overflow in Adobe Reader triggered by Collab.getIcon() with a crafted argument. Allows arbitrary code execution. (matched in decompressed stream)
Collab.collectEmailInfo — CVE-2007-5659 critical CVE exact CVE_2007_5659

PDF JavaScript calls Collab.collectEmailInfo — CVE-2007-5659 is a buffer overflow in Adobe Reader triggered by a long argument or heap-sprayed message field passed to Collab.collectEmailInfo(). Part of a series of Acrobat JS API exploits. (matched in decompressed stream)
util.printf — CVE-2008-2992 critical CVE exact CVE_2008_2992

PDF JavaScript calls util.printf() — CVE-2008-2992 is a stack buffer overflow in Adobe Reader triggered by a long format-specifier argument. Widely exploited in the wild after disclosure. (matched in decompressed stream)
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.CVE_2009_0927-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.CVE_2009_0927-1
OpenAction trigger high PDF_OPENACTION

PDF has an /OpenAction — code runs automatically when opened
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE

unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
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.
