T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
The PDF file contains an embedded XFA form that triggers the CVE-2010-0188 exploit. This vulnerability in Adobe Reader allows for the execution of arbitrary code, likely to download and run a secondary payload. The embedded artifact 'embedded_file_obj0001.bin' is suspected to be this payload.
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.
-
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
-
XFA form low PDF_XFAPDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
-
PDF differential parser failed info PDF_DIFFERENTIAL_PARSE_FAILEDThe cross-check parser (pdfminer.six) failed on this file: PDF differential parser failed: PSSyntaxError. Static heuristics still ran and any of their findings above are valid; only the differential cross-check signal is missing.
