MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The PDF file contains multiple heuristics indicating malicious intent, including embedded files and XFA form usage, strongly suggesting it's designed to exploit vulnerabilities or deliver a payload. The ML classifier also flagged it with high confidence. While no specific script was extracted, the presence of embedded files and XFA forms points towards an attempt to execute malicious code or redirect the user.

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9986

Heuristics 4

  • 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
  • AcroForm button with action trigger low PDF_ACROFORM_BUTTON
    PDF contains a /Btn form field together with a SubmitForm/URI/Launch/JS trigger — this is the building block of fake 'Download' or 'Open' button overlays used in PDF phishing lures
  • 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.
