T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

This PDF document contains a high-severity heuristic firing for XFA form script execution, indicating it contains risky executable script. The ML classifier also flagged it as malicious with high confidence. The presence of embedded files and an embedded URL suggests the document is designed to deliver a malicious payload. The script likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload from the embedded URL.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 5

  • XFA form contains risky executable script high CVE related PDF_XFA_SCRIPT
    PDF embeds an XFA form whose script block contains exploit, submission/launch, or shell-execution primitives. Ordinary LiveCycle print/update scripts are left as generic XFA/JS signals unless stronger behavior is present.
  • 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
  • AcroForm button with action trigger low PDF_ACROFORM_BUTTON
    PDF contains a /Btn form field together with a SubmitForm/URI/Launch/JS trigger — this is the building block of fake 'Download' or 'Open' button overlays used in PDF phishing lures
  • 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.
