MITRE ATT&CK

T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains an XFA form and utilizes ASCIIHexDecode and ASCII85Decode filters, which are indicators of exploit activity. Specifically, the 'CVE_2010_0188' heuristic firing confirms the presence of an exploit targeting Adobe Reader's LibTIFF component. This exploit is designed to achieve arbitrary code execution, commonly used to download and execute further malicious content. No scripts were extracted, and the document body was unreadable, but the exploit itself is the primary indicator of malicious intent.

Heuristics 5

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

PDF 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_HEX

Hex-encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — often used to hide payload or shellcode bytes
XFA form low PDF_XFA

PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
ASCII85Decode filter (with exploit indicators) low PDF_FILTER_85

ASCII85 encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — uncommon outside of obfuscation
