T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment
The PDF file was detected as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78, indicating it is a known exploit dropper. Heuristics confirm the presence of an embedded script payload and an embedded file, which are common techniques for delivering secondary malware. The XFA form structure and embedded file further suggest a malicious intent to exploit PDF vulnerabilities.

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78
-
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
-
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://ns.adobe.com/xdp/
