MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1059.007 JavaScript
The PDF utilizes XFA (XML Forms Architecture) and contains an embedded JavaScript payload, as indicated by multiple heuristics and ClamAV detections. The embedded script is designed to execute malicious code, likely leading to the download and execution of a second-stage payload. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness.

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/
