The file is identified as a malicious PDF by multiple high-confidence heuristics, including ML classification and ClamAV detection. The presence of an embedded script payload within a PDF stream, combined with the XFA form structure, indicates an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities or deliver malicious content. The embedded URL, while seemingly benign, is part of the overall malicious structure.

  • Embedded script payload in PDF stream medium PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD
    PDF 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.
  • 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.
