MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.007 JavaScript T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The PDF sample contains XFA (XML Forms Architecture) which is known to be vulnerable to heap spray attacks. The heuristic firings indicate the presence of XFA JavaScript heap-spray exploit code and a risky executable script within the XFA form. This suggests the document is designed to exploit this vulnerability to download and execute a second-stage payload, likely contained within the embedded file obj0010.bin.

Heuristics 7

XFA form contains risky executable script high CVE related PDF_XFA_SCRIPT

PDF embeds an XFA form whose script block contains exploit, submission/launch, or shell-execution primitives. Ordinary LiveCycle print/update scripts are left as generic XFA/JS signals unless stronger behavior is present.
XFA JavaScript heap-spray exploit code critical PDF_XFA_HEAP_SPRAY

PDF contains XFA script content with heap-spray or shellcode-like JavaScript markers such as large encoded word sequences, util.pack, large arrays, or spray variable names. This is a weaponised Adobe Reader exploit pattern, not a normal interactive form.
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED

PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
XFA form low PDF_XFA

PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
Embedded script payload in PDF stream low PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD

PDF 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.
Suspicious extracted artifact info 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.
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.
