T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF file contains an embedded JavaScript payload that exploits the CVE-2010-0188 vulnerability in Adobe Reader. This exploit is designed to achieve arbitrary code execution. The extracted JavaScript file, stream_001_off00000324.js, is the likely second-stage payload. The confidence is high due to the direct identification of a known exploit.
Heuristics 5
-
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 script payload in PDF stream medium PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOADPDF 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.
-
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
