MITRE ATT&CK

T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.001 PowerShell

The critical ClamAV heuristic firing for 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36874' strongly indicates a known PDF exploit. The presence of XFA forms and an AcroForm button with an action trigger further supports this, suggesting the PDF is designed to leverage a vulnerability. While no specific script was extracted, the exploit likely leads to the download and execution of a secondary payload, as is common with such exploits.
