T1204.001 Malicious Link
The PDF file contains obfuscated JavaScript that leverages the Collab.getIcon method, a known indicator for CVE-2009-0927 exploitation. The script uses multiple layers of encoding and eval() calls, typical of exploit kits attempting to download and execute further stages. The presence of multiple deobfuscated JavaScript files further supports this. The exact second-stage payload or download URL could not be definitively reconstructed due to the obfuscation.
Heuristics 5
-
Collab.getIcon — CVE-2009-0927 critical CVE exact CVE_2009_0927PDF 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. (identified after JavaScript deobfuscation)
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
-
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.
-
