T1059.007 JavaScript
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by heuristics as a malicious script payload. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly indicate malicious intent. The embedded script is heavily obfuscated but appears to be designed to download and execute a second-stage payload, a common technique for malware delivery. The benign URLs related to XFA are likely present to avoid detection or as part of the legitimate PDF structure.

Embedded script payload in PDF stream low PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOADPDF 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.
