MITRE ATT&CK

T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

This PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and an XFA form, triggering critical heuristics for CVE-2010-0188, a known Adobe Reader exploit. The exploit targets a vulnerability in the LibTIFF component when processing XFA images. An embedded file artifact was also detected. The primary attack vector is likely the exploitation of this vulnerability to achieve code execution, potentially to download and run a secondary payload.

Heuristics 8

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

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
