The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and triggers a critical heuristic for CVE-2010-2883, an Adobe Reader CoolType SING font exploit. This indicates the file is designed to leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code. The presence of JavaScript streams and XFA forms further supports the exploitation vector. The exact payload or subsequent actions are not directly discernible from the provided static analysis, but the exploit itself is the primary threat.
Heuristics 6
-
Adobe Reader CoolType SING font exploit — CVE-2010-2883 critical CVE likely CVE_2010_2883PDF embeds a TrueType/OpenType font with an actual SING table and pairs it with JavaScript heap-spray shellcode. This matches the public Adobe Reader CoolType SING exploit shape for CVE-2010-2883.
-
ASCIIHexDecode filter (with exploit indicators) medium PDF_FILTER_HEXHex-encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — often used to hide payload or shellcode bytes
-
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPTPDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JSPDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
XFA form low PDF_XFAPDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
-
