MITRE ATT&CK

T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains U3D content and embedded JavaScript, triggering heuristics for CVE-2011-2462, a known Adobe Reader U3D heap spray exploit. The JavaScript within the decompressed stream is designed to execute arbitrary code, likely leading to a second-stage payload download from one of the embedded URLs. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness.

Adobe Reader U3D parser exploit with JavaScript heap spray critical CVE likely CVE_2011_2462_U3D_HEAPSPRAY

PDF combines U3D/3D annotation content with JavaScript heap-spray shellcode. Public CVE-2011-2462 exploit chains use a crafted U3D stream and JavaScript heap spray to control memory during Adobe Reader's U3D parser corruption.
U3D/3D content in PDF — Adobe Reader 3D parser CVE-family indicator high CVE related PDF_U3D_CVE_RELATED

PDF contains U3D (Universal 3D) or 3D annotation content — CVE-2011-2462 and CVE-2009-3953 are critical vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader's U3D processing that allow arbitrary code execution. U3D content in PDFs is extremely rare in normal documents.
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.
External URI info PDF_URI

PDF contains an external URL action
Suspicious extracted artifact info 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.
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL

One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
