The sample is a PDF document that leverages the CVE-2010-0188 exploit targeting Adobe Reader's XFA forms. The embedded XFA script contains obfuscated JavaScript that likely attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload. The presence of an embedded URL further supports the delivery of malicious content.
