MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution T1566.001 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is a PDF file that leverages an XFA form to trigger the CVE-2010-0188 exploit, targeting Adobe Reader. ClamAV identified it as Js.Exploit.HTML-30, indicating a JavaScript-based exploit. The embedded URL is likely related to the XFA template, but the primary malicious action is the exploit execution.
