T1059.001 Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell
T1204.002 Malicious Link: Malicious File
The PDF document contains embedded JavaScript, identified by multiple heuristics as a stager for executing malicious code. The 'PDF_ANNOT_SUBJECT_MARKER_EVAL_STAGER' heuristic indicates that the annotation subject is used to decode and execute JavaScript, likely to download and run a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature.
Heuristics 4
-
Annotation subject percent-decoding eval stager critical PDF_ANNOT_SUBJECT_MARKER_EVAL_STAGEROpenAction JavaScript forces annotation enumeration, reads an annotation /Subject payload with getAnnots(), rewrites marker bytes into percent escapes, decodes it with unescape(), and dispatches it through eval. This is a high-confidence exploit-kit staging pattern. It is intentionally not mapped to CVE-2009-1492 unless getAnnots() itself carries the crafted integer or long argument shape for that vulnerability.
