MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 User Execution

The sample is a PDF file identified as suspicious due to its relation to CVE-2023-26369, indicating it exploits a known vulnerability. The presence of XFA forms and embedded TrueType fonts further supports this. While the document body is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, the heuristic firings strongly suggest the file is designed to leverage this vulnerability for code execution, likely as a downloader for a secondary payload. No specific malware family was identified.

Heuristics 3

  • TrueType bitmap font + active content — CVE-2023-26369 related info CVE related PDF_CVE_2023_26369_RELATED
    PDF embeds a TrueType font with bitmap tables (EBDT/sbix/CBDT) alongside exploit delivery indicators — CVE-2023-26369 exploits the sfac_GetSbitBitmap function in Adobe's libCoolType for arbitrary code execution. This CVE was actively exploited in the wild, but this rule does not validate the malformed EBLC/EBDT primitive.
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic (matched inside decoded stream)
  • 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.
