MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and triggers a critical heuristic for the Adobe Reader CoolType SING font exploit (CVE-2010-2883). The embedded JavaScript streams, such as 'javascript_obj0029_000.js', are likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The presence of XFA forms and ASCIIHexDecode filters further indicates a malicious intent to exploit vulnerabilities.

Heuristics 6

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.
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
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
