Initial Access

Office/PDF Client Exploitation

T1203 · MITRE ATT&CK

Adversaries exploit software vulnerabilities in client applications (e.g., web browsers, office productivity suites, PDF readers, or third-party software) to execute arbitrary code. This often involves leveraging unsecure coding practices to achieve remote code execution (RCE) or local code execution (LCE) via targeted exploits. These ordered steps cover one Office/PDF file-delivery variant; browser and other client paths use different delivery and trigger conditions.
