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

The sample is a PDF file that leverages an XFA form to exploit CVE-2010-0188 in 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 exploit mechanism is the critical heuristic firing for CVE-2010-0188.

    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Js.Exploit.HTML-30
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
