T1059.001 Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell
The critical heuristic firing for CVE-2010-2883 indicates that this PDF document is designed to exploit a known vulnerability in Adobe Reader. The presence of embedded JavaScript streams further supports the malicious intent, as these scripts are often used to download and execute additional payloads or perform other malicious actions. The document body is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, providing no direct clues about the lure.
Heuristics 6
-
Adobe Reader CoolType SING font exploit — CVE-2010-2883 critical CVE likely CVE_2010_2883PDF embeds a TrueType/OpenType font with an actual SING table and pairs it with JavaScript heap-spray shellcode. This matches the public Adobe Reader CoolType SING exploit shape for CVE-2010-2883.
-
ASCIIHexDecode filter (with exploit indicators) medium PDF_FILTER_HEXHex-encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — often used to hide payload or shellcode bytes
-
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPTPDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JSPDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
XFA form low PDF_XFAPDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
-
