MITRE ATT&CK

T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF sample contains critical XFA JavaScript heap-spray exploit code and a risky executable script within an XFA form. This indicates the sample is designed to exploit a vulnerability to execute arbitrary code. The ClamAV detection of 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7248323-0' further supports its malicious nature, suggesting it acts as a dropper for other malware. No specific family could be identified from the available evidence.

Heuristics 8

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.
XFA JavaScript heap-spray exploit code critical PDF_XFA_HEAP_SPRAY

PDF contains XFA script content with heap-spray or shellcode-like JavaScript markers such as large encoded word sequences, util.pack, large arrays, or spray variable names. This is a weaponised Adobe Reader exploit pattern, not a normal interactive form.
ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7248323-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7248323-0
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE

unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
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.
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
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE

One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.

Extracted artifacts 7
