MITRE ATT&CK

T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF file contains embedded XFA (XML Forms Architecture) content which is known to be vulnerable to CVE-2010-0188. The embedded script, which appears to be JavaScript, is likely responsible for triggering this exploit. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly indicate malicious intent, likely to execute a secondary payload.

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-6136306-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-6136306-0
XFA form low PDF_XFA

PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
Embedded script payload in PDF stream low 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.
