T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The sample is a malicious PDF file identified as exploiting CVE-2010-0188, a vulnerability in Adobe Reader's handling of LibTIFF images within XFA forms. This exploit is designed to achieve client-side code execution. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness, and the presence of an embedded, decompressed stream further supports the exploit delivery mechanism.

Heuristics 5
-
Adobe Reader LibTIFF XFA image exploit — CVE-2010-0188 critical CVE likely CVE_2010_0188PDF contains XFA image data with an inline crafted TIFF payload and shellcode/delivery markers. This is the data-bound variant of the CVE-2010-0188 Adobe Reader LibTIFF/XFA exploit shape.
-
XFA form low PDF_XFAPDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
-
ASCII85Decode filter (with exploit indicators) low PDF_FILTER_85ASCII85 encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — uncommon outside of obfuscation
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne 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_URLOne 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.URL http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/
