T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF file exploits the CVE-2010-0188 vulnerability in Adobe Reader, leveraging XFA form data to execute JavaScript. The deobfuscated JavaScript found within the embedded artifacts likely attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload, although its exact function is obscured. The presence of the CVE-2010-0188 exploit indicates a direct client-side execution attempt.
Heuristics 4
-
Adobe Reader LibTIFF XFA image exploit — CVE-2010-0188 critical CVE likely CVE_2010_0188PDF contains the CVE-2010-0188 exploit template: XFA JavaScript heap-spray setup, a generated TIFF image payload, and assignment of that TIFF data to an XFA image field rawValue to trigger Adobe Reader's LibTIFF parser.
-
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
-
XFA form low PDF_XFAPDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
-
