MITRE ATT&CK

T1204 Malicious Link T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.007 JavaScript

This PDF file exploits CVE-2010-0188 via XFA forms to deliver a JavaScript stager. The deobfuscated JavaScript, identified by ClamAV as Js.Exploit.HTML-30, likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload. The embedded URL is likely part of the exploit chain.

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.
XFA form low PDF_XFA

PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
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.

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