MITRE ATT&CK

T1204.002 Malicious File Execution: Malicious JavaScript T1566.001 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and triggers an OpenAction, indicating an attempt to automatically execute code upon opening. The critical heuristic firing for CVE-2010-2883 confirms the exploitation of a known Adobe Reader vulnerability. The embedded JavaScript, though obfuscated, is likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload, a common technique for initial access.

Heuristics 9

Adobe Reader CoolType SING font exploit — CVE-2010-2883 critical CVE likely CVE_2010_2883

PDF embeds a TrueType/OpenType font with an actual SING table and pairs it with JavaScript heap-spray shellcode. This matches the public Adobe Reader CoolType SING exploit shape for CVE-2010-2883.
OpenAction trigger high PDF_OPENACTION

PDF has an /OpenAction — code runs automatically when opened
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE

unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
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.
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPT

PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS

PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
XFA form low PDF_XFA

PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
AcroForm button with action trigger low PDF_ACROFORM_BUTTON

PDF contains a /Btn form field together with a SubmitForm/URI/Launch/JS trigger — this is the building block of fake 'Download' or 'Open' button overlays used in PDF phishing lures
