MITRE ATT&CK

T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution: Malicious Attachment T1059.001 Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that leverages the CVE-2009-0658 exploit targeting a heap-spray vulnerability within the JBIG2Decode filter. This exploit is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. The presence of multiple PDF-specific heuristics, including critical findings for the CVE-2009-0658 exploit, strongly indicates this attack vector.

Heuristics 8

Adobe Reader JBIG2Decode heap-spray exploit critical CVE likely CVE_2009_0658

PDF combines JBIG2Decode image streams with a Reader 9 JavaScript heap-spray stage. This is the in-the-wild Adobe Reader/Acrobat JBIG2Decode exploit shape associated with CVE-2009-0658.
JBIG2 + active content high CVE related PDF_JBIG2_ACTIVE_CONTENT

JBIG2Decode appears with JavaScript/XFA/RichMedia — a related indicator for JBIG2 parser-exploit families including CVE-2021-30860 and CVE-2009-0658, but not a unique CVE fingerprint.
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE

unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
JBIG2Decode filter medium PDF_JBIG2

JBIG2 image decoder present — historically used in zero-click exploits
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.
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.
