MITRE ATT&CK

T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and triggers critical heuristics related to the CVE-2009-0658 exploit, which targets Adobe Reader's JBIG2Decode filter. This indicates the document is designed to exploit a known vulnerability to gain code execution. The presence of obfuscated JavaScript further supports the malicious intent, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 8

Adobe Reader JBIG2Decode generic heap-spray exploit critical CVE likely CVE_2009_0658_GENERIC_SPRAY

PDF combines JBIG2Decode image streams with JavaScript heap-spray or decoder scaffolding. This is likely CVE-2009-0658-family Adobe Reader JBIG2 exploitation, but it lacks the stricter Reader-9 version gate or decoded page-word shellcode fingerprint required by the exact rule.
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.
ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
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.
