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

The PDF file contains XFA form elements and triggers a critical ClamAV detection for Js.Exploit.HTML-30, indicating it is designed to exploit vulnerabilities. The embedded URL, while seemingly benign, is part of the exploit chain. The obfuscated JavaScript within the document body likely attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload, a common technique for PDF-based malware delivery.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Js.Exploit.HTML-30 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Js.Exploit.HTML-30
  • 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: PSEOF. Static heuristics still ran and any of their findings above are valid; only the differential cross-check signal is missing.
  • 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.
