T1059.001 PowerShell
T1204.002 Malicious File
The PDF file contains an XFA form and an embedded script payload, strongly indicating malicious intent. ML classifiers and ClamAV detections confirm this, flagging it as Pdf.Exploit.Agent. The embedded script is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, though its exact functionality is obscured by the PDF structure. The presence of XFA suggests an exploit targeting Adobe Reader or similar software.
