T1204 Malicious Link
T1204.002 Malicious Link: Malicious File
The PDF file contains embedded script payloads and is flagged by ClamAV as Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78, indicating it is designed to exploit vulnerabilities. The presence of embedded files and XFA forms further supports its malicious nature. The embedded script is too obfuscated to determine its exact function, but its presence alongside exploit indicators suggests it is used to download and execute a second-stage payload.
Heuristics 5
-
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/
