MITRE ATT&CK

T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1059.001 PowerShell

This PDF file contains an embedded XFA form that exploits CVE-2010-0188, a vulnerability in Adobe Reader's handling of LibTIFF images within XFA content. The exploit is designed to execute arbitrary code, indicated by the critical heuristic firing for this CVE. An embedded file, 'embedded_file_obj0004.bin', was also extracted, suggesting it may contain a second-stage payload. The presence of JavaScript actions and embedded JS streams further supports the malicious intent of code execution.

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36015 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36015
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.
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED

PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
XFA form low PDF_XFA

PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
AcroForm button with action trigger low PDF_ACROFORM_BUTTON

PDF contains a /Btn form field together with a SubmitForm/URI/Launch/JS trigger — this is the building block of fake 'Download' or 'Open' button overlays used in PDF phishing lures
