T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious File
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and a RichMedia (Flash) object, indicating an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities. The embedded JavaScript stream, named 'javascript_obj0017_000.js', likely contains obfuscated code that uses the unescape() function, a common technique for hiding malicious actions. The presence of an embedded SWF file ('exploit.swf') further suggests a multi-stage attack. The script's purpose is inferred to be the download and execution of a secondary payload.
Heuristics 6
-
RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIAPDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits
-
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.
-
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
-
