MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The PDF file contains an XFA form and triggers a critical heuristic for CVE-2010-0188, indicating an exploit targeting Adobe Reader's LibTIFF component. This exploit is designed to execute arbitrary code, likely to download and run a second-stage payload. The presence of an ASCII85Decode filter further supports the exploit delivery mechanism.

Heuristics 4

  • Adobe Reader LibTIFF XFA image exploit — CVE-2010-0188 critical CVE likely CVE_2010_0188
    PDF contains XFA image data with an inline crafted TIFF payload and shellcode/delivery markers. This is the data-bound variant of the CVE-2010-0188 Adobe Reader LibTIFF/XFA exploit shape.
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • ASCII85Decode filter (with exploit indicators) low PDF_FILTER_85
    ASCII85 encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — uncommon outside of obfuscation
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
