T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF file contains XFA (XML Forms Architecture) content which is known to be a vector for exploits. Specifically, the CVE-2010-0188 heuristic indicates exploitation of a LibTIFF vulnerability within Adobe Reader's XFA processing. The embedded JavaScript stager, recovered as 'xfa_numeric_stage_000.js', is heavily obfuscated but the ClamAV detection 'Js.Exploit.HTML-30' suggests it's malicious. The primary intent appears to be downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as indicated by the exploit and stager heuristics.

-
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: Js.Exploit.HTML-30 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Js.Exploit.HTML-30
-
XFA numeric JavaScript stager high PDF_XFA_NUMERIC_JS_STAGERPDF 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.
-
XFA form low PDF_XFAPDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic

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.
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.5/
