MITRE ATT&CK

T1204.002 Malicious File Execution: User Execution: Malicious File T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The PDF file contains obfuscated JavaScript that exploits the CVE-2009-0927 vulnerability in Adobe Reader. The embedded JavaScript, after deobfuscation, is designed to download and execute a secondary payload, indicating a downloader or initial access stage of an attack. The specific exploit mechanism and the lack of further payload details prevent a more precise family attribution.

Heuristics 5

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

Suspicious extracted artifact high 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.
ASCIIHexDecode filter (with exploit indicators) medium PDF_FILTER_HEX

Hex-encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — often used to hide payload or shellcode bytes
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.
