MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains an embedded JavaScript payload within an XFA form, a known technique for exploiting PDF vulnerabilities. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly indicate malicious intent. The embedded script likely attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload, as suggested by the heuristic 'PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD'.

  • 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.
  • 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.
