MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file utilizes XFA forms, a known vector for embedding malicious scripts. ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-6136306-0' strongly indicates malicious intent. The embedded script payload, though not directly analyzed for its specific actions due to its size and potential obfuscation, is the likely mechanism for exploitation. The presence of XFA forms and embedded scripts points towards a delivery mechanism for further malicious activity.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-6136306-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-6136306-0
  • 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.
