The PDF was flagged by a machine learning classifier and ClamAV as malicious, specifically identifying it as Pdf.Exploit.Agent-6136306-0. The presence of an XFA form and an embedded script payload indicates an attempt to execute malicious code upon opening. The embedded script is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, though its exact functionality is obscured.

    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.
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • 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.
