T1566.001 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment
T1059.001 Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell
The sample is a PDF file that triggers a critical heuristic for CVE-2010-0188, an Adobe Reader exploit targeting XFA forms. The presence of an embedded URL and the XFA numeric stager further support this attack vector. The exploit likely leads to the download and execution of a second-stage payload.
Heuristics 6
-
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.

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36825 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36825
-
XFA numeric character-table eval stager high PDF_XFA_NUMERIC_EVAL_STAGERPDF XFA initialize script reads numeric form data from rawValue, maps the values through a short character table, and evals the reconstructed stage. This is an exploit-kit staging technique even when the final decoded layer remains encoded.

XFA form low PDF_XFAPDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic

PDF differential parser failed info PDF_DIFFERENTIAL_PARSE_FAILEDThe cross-check parser (pdfminer.six) failed on this file: PDF differential parser failed: PSEOF. Static heuristics still ran and any of their findings above are valid; only the differential cross-check signal is missing.
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.URL http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.5/
