MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious File T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution: Malicious Attachment

The PDF file was flagged as malicious by an ML classifier with high confidence. It contains embedded content and an embedded script payload, indicating an attempt to deliver a secondary exploit or malware. The presence of XFA form elements further suggests a complex attack vector. The embedded file and script are key indicators of malicious intent.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 4

  • Embedded script payload in PDF stream medium PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD
    PDF 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_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One 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.
