MITRE ATT&CK

T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains an embedded exploit targeting CVE-2010-0188 in Adobe Reader's handling of XFA forms and LibTIFF images. This exploit is designed to achieve arbitrary code execution. An embedded script payload was also detected, suggesting the exploit is used to download and execute a secondary stage. The embedded file 'embedded_file_obj0006.bin' is likely the dropped payload.

Heuristics 6

Adobe Reader LibTIFF XFA image exploit — CVE-2010-0188 critical CVE likely CVE_2010_0188

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.CVE_2010_0188-10 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.CVE_2010_0188-10
Embedded script payload in PDF stream medium PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD

PDF stream bytes contain an HTML/XFA <script> tag without accompanying Windows shell-execution primitives — common in accessible XFA forms but worth surfacing for analyst review.
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
