T1204.002 Malicious File
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment
The PDF was flagged by a machine learning classifier with high confidence (0.999972) and also triggered heuristics for embedded script payloads and embedded files. The presence of an embedded file object suggests it is likely a dropper or exploit delivery mechanism. The XFA form heuristic might indicate a method for obfuscating malicious content.

Heuristics 3
-
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
