MITRE ATT&CK

T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.001 PowerShell

This PDF file exploits CVE-2010-0188 via XFA forms, as indicated by multiple critical heuristic firings. The embedded JavaScript stager, xfa_numeric_stage_000.js, is detected by ClamAV as Js.Exploit.HTML-30 and likely functions to download and execute a second-stage payload. The presence of an embedded URL, though benign in reputation, is consistent with a delivery mechanism for further malicious content.

Heuristics 7

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.
ClamAV: Js.Exploit.HTML-30 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Js.Exploit.HTML-30
ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV

ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
XFA numeric JavaScript stager high PDF_XFA_NUMERIC_JS_STAGER

PDF XFA script reconstructs a hidden JavaScript stage from numeric field data or a character table, then evals the result. The decoder is gated on XFA script, numeric staging, and recovered exploit-like JavaScript or shellcode markers.
Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE

One 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.
XFA form low PDF_XFA

PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL

One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
