MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious File T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution: Malicious Attachment

The PDF file was flagged by a machine learning classifier and ClamAV as malicious, specifically identifying it as Pdf.Exploit.Agent-6136306-0. The presence of an embedded script payload within a PDF stream, combined with XFA form usage, indicates an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities. The embedded script is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload.

  • 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.
