T1204 Malicious Link
T1204.002 Malicious File
The PDF file contains an embedded script payload, as indicated by the PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD heuristic. ClamAV detection confirms this as a malicious exploit, specifically 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-156969-1'. The embedded file artifact further suggests the delivery of a secondary malicious component. The document body text is largely unreadable, but the presence of the exploit and embedded script strongly suggests an attack pattern focused on exploiting PDF vulnerabilities to download and execute further malicious content.
Heuristics 5
-
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-156969-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-156969-1
-
Embedded script payload in PDF stream medium 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 file low PDF_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
-
XFA form low PDF_XFAPDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
-
