MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1140 Deobfuscate/Decode Files or Information

The PDF file exhibits multiple signs of malicious intent, including embedded scripts and an embedded file artifact. The ClamAV detection for 'Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject' and the 'PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD' heuristic strongly indicate that the document is designed to conceal and deliver a malicious payload. The presence of an embedded file, 'embedded_file_obj0001.bin', further supports this, as it is likely the secondary stage of the attack.

Heuristics 6

ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
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.
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED

PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
XFA form low PDF_XFA

PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
PDF differential parser failed info PDF_DIFFERENTIAL_PARSE_FAILED

The cross-check parser (pdfminer.six) failed on this file: PDF differential parser failed: PSSyntaxError. Static heuristics still ran and any of their findings above are valid; only the differential cross-check signal is missing.
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE

One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
