MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1059.001 PowerShell

The sample is a PDF file that contains an XFA form and triggers the CVE-2010-0188 exploit for Adobe Reader. ClamAV also detected it as Js.Exploit.HTML-30, indicating JavaScript-based exploitation. The embedded URL is likely related to the XFA template, but the primary attack vector is the exploit itself, aiming to execute a secondary payload.
