T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1059.007 JavaScript
The PDF document contains an embedded XFA form with JavaScript, which is flagged as malicious by multiple engines including ClamAV. The embedded script likely exploits a client-side vulnerability to execute code, potentially downloading a secondary payload from the embedded URL. The ML classifier and ClamAV detections strongly indicate malicious intent.

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36789 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36789
-
ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAVClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
-
XFA form low PDF_XFAPDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
-
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.
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.5/
