T1204.002 Malicious File
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment
The PDF file contains embedded content and a script payload, as indicated by multiple heuristic firings including 'PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD' and 'CLAMAV_DETECTION'. The ClamAV detection name 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78' strongly suggests it's a known exploit dropper. The embedded file and script are likely used to download and execute a second-stage payload.

-
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78

-
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/
