MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution

The sample is a PDF file that utilizes XFA forms and the ASCII85Decode filter, both indicators of potential exploit delivery. Specifically, the critical heuristic firing for CVE-2010-0188 confirms that the PDF contains an embedded LibTIFF exploit targeting Adobe Reader. This exploit is designed to decompress and execute a malicious payload, likely leading to arbitrary code execution on the victim's system.

Heuristics 4

  • Adobe Reader LibTIFF XFA image exploit — CVE-2010-0188 critical CVE likely CVE_2010_0188
    PDF 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_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • ASCII85Decode filter (with exploit indicators) low PDF_FILTER_85
    ASCII85 encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — uncommon outside of obfuscation
  • 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.
