T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The sample is a PDF file that exploits the CVE-2010-0188 vulnerability in Adobe Reader. This vulnerability allows for arbitrary code execution when a user opens a specially crafted PDF. The presence of XFA form elements and the use of ASCIIHexDecode and ASCII85Decode filters are common indicators for this type of exploit. The exploit payload was identified within an embedded decompressed PDF stream.
Heuristics 5
-
Adobe Reader LibTIFF XFA image exploit — CVE-2010-0188 critical CVE likely CVE_2010_0188PDF contains XFA image data with an inline crafted TIFF payload and shellcode/delivery markers. This is the data-bound variant of the CVE-2010-0188 Adobe Reader LibTIFF/XFA exploit shape.
-
ASCIIHexDecode filter (with exploit indicators) medium PDF_FILTER_HEXHex-encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — often used to hide payload or shellcode bytes
-
XFA form low PDF_XFAPDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
-
ASCII85Decode filter (with exploit indicators) low PDF_FILTER_85ASCII85 encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — uncommon outside of obfuscation
-
