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_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
