T1204.002 Malicious File
The PDF contains embedded script payloads and is detected by ClamAV as Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-156969-1. The heuristics indicate the presence of an embedded file and an XFA form, suggesting a complex exploit delivery mechanism. The embedded script payload is the primary indicator of malicious intent, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload.
