MITRE ATT&CK

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

The PDF file contains an XFA form that leverages the CVE-2010-0188 exploit in Adobe Reader. A deobfuscated JavaScript stager was recovered, which is indicative of a downloader attempting to fetch and execute a second-stage payload. The embedded URL, while likely benign in its schema context, is associated with the XFA structure exploited here. The ClamAV detections further confirm the malicious nature of the file and its extracted JavaScript component.

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.
Suspicious extracted artifact high 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.
XFA form low PDF_XFA

PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
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/
