T1204.002 Malicious File
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment
T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF document contains embedded script content, as indicated by the PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD heuristic. ClamAV detection of 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78' strongly suggests this is a known exploit. The embedded file and XFA form heuristics further support the malicious nature of the document. The primary attack vector appears to be leveraging the embedded script to download and execute a secondary payload.

-
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78
-
Embedded script payload in PDF stream medium PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOADPDF 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_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
-
XFA form low PDF_XFAPDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/
