MITRE ATT&CK

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

The file was detected as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Pdf.Exploit.Gen-259. Static analysis identified an embedded script payload within a PDF stream, indicating an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF with high confidence. The presence of multiple embedded files further supports its role as a dropper or exploit delivery mechanism.

Heuristics 6

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Gen-259 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Gen-259
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
PDF differential parser failed info PDF_DIFFERENTIAL_PARSE_FAILED

The cross-check parser (pdfminer.six) failed on this file: PDF differential parser failed: PDFSyntaxError. Static heuristics still ran and any of their findings above are valid; only the differential cross-check signal is missing.
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE

One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.

Extracted artifacts 6
