MITRE ATT&CK

T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution T1059.007 Scripting: JavaScript T1559.001 Component Object Model: Component Execution

The PDF file contains a high-severity heuristic firing for XFA forms with risky executable scripts, indicating it is designed to exploit vulnerabilities. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81' further confirms its malicious nature. While no specific script content was readable, the presence of embedded files and XFA scripting strongly suggests the PDF is a dropper for a secondary payload.

Heuristics 6

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
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.
