MITRE ATT&CK

T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains an embedded script payload and triggers the CVE-2010-0188 exploit, indicating it is designed to execute arbitrary code. The embedded artifact 'embedded_file_obj0006.bin' is likely the second-stage payload. The XFA form and embedded file heuristics further support the exploitation vector.

Heuristics 6

Adobe Reader LibTIFF XFA image exploit — CVE-2010-0188 critical CVE likely CVE_2010_0188

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
