MITRE ATT&CK

T1204.002 Malicious File T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file contains embedded scripts and is flagged as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81. The presence of XFA forms with executable scripts indicates an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities within the PDF reader to execute arbitrary code. The embedded files suggest a dropper mechanism for further stages of the attack.

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.
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81
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
