T1204.002 Malicious File
T1553.005 Mark-of-the-Web Bypass
The PDF was flagged by a machine learning classifier with high confidence as malicious. Static analysis revealed multiple embedded files, with one particularly large file (embedded_file_obj0012.bin) likely containing the malicious payload. The presence of XFA forms and embedded scripts further indicates a malicious intent to execute code or deliver further stages.
Machine Learning
- Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9999
Heuristics 4
-
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
-
