MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains XFA form elements with embedded JavaScript that triggers a heap spray exploit. This script is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload from the reconstructed URL 'http://kikillusfbgwrevgtynd-remotet.dyndns-remote.com:80/subs.php?spamnva=4&django=151&back=152'. The presence of XFA heap spray and embedded script strongly indicates a malicious intent to compromise the user's system.

Heuristics 5

  • XFA form contains risky executable script high CVE related PDF_XFA_SCRIPT
    PDF embeds an XFA form whose script block contains exploit, submission/launch, or shell-execution primitives. Ordinary LiveCycle print/update scripts are left as generic XFA/JS signals unless stronger behavior is present.
  • XFA JavaScript heap-spray exploit code critical PDF_XFA_HEAP_SPRAY
    PDF contains XFA script content with heap-spray or shellcode-like JavaScript markers such as large encoded word sequences, util.pack, large arrays, or spray variable names. This is a weaponised Adobe Reader exploit pattern, not a normal interactive form.
  • Embedded script payload in PDF stream medium PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD
    PDF stream bytes contain an HTML/XFA <script> tag without accompanying Windows shell-execution primitives — common in accessible XFA forms but worth surfacing for analyst review.
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
