MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. ClamAV also flagged it as Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject, suggesting malicious intent. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for executing malicious code or downloading further stages. The presence of XFA form elements (PDF_XFA) may be leveraged in conjunction with the JavaScript for exploitation. The document body is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, providing no direct clues to the lure.

  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • 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.
