T1204.002 Malicious File Execution: Malicious File
T1059.001 Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell
T1566.001 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment
This PDF file triggers the CVE-2010-0188 exploit, which is known to target Adobe Reader's handling of TIFF images within XFA forms. The critical heuristic firing confirms this exploit is present and likely decodes a payload. The presence of embedded files and a script payload marker further suggests this exploit is used as a dropper for additional malicious content. The file's metadata and ClamAV detection reinforce its malicious nature.
Heuristics 7
-
Adobe Reader LibTIFF XFA image exploit — CVE-2010-0188 critical CVE likely CVE_2010_0188PDF 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.
-
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Gen-259 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Gen-259
-
Embedded script payload in PDF stream medium PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOADPDF 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_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: PDFSyntaxError. Static heuristics still ran and any of their findings above are valid; only the differential cross-check signal is missing.
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
