MITRE ATT&CK

T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript

The PDF file contains a critical heuristic indicating exploitation of CVE-2010-0188, a known vulnerability in Adobe Reader related to XFA forms. The analysis also identified embedded JavaScript, which is likely the second-stage payload. This script is responsible for executing the exploit and potentially downloading further malicious content.

Heuristics 4

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

PDF contains the CVE-2010-0188 exploit template: XFA JavaScript heap-spray setup, a generated TIFF image payload, and assignment of that TIFF data to an XFA image field rawValue to trigger Adobe Reader's LibTIFF parser.
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
