MITRE ATT&CK

T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution: Malicious File T1059.007 Command and Scripting Interpreter: JavaScript

The PDF sample utilizes XFA forms with heap spray exploit code, indicating an attempt to execute arbitrary code. An embedded script payload was detected, which is likely responsible for the malicious behavior. The presence of an embedded file, specifically 'embedded_file_obj0010.bin', suggests it may contain the secondary payload. The exact nature of the script's execution is obscured, but the overall pattern points to a drive-by download or exploit delivery mechanism.

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.
XFA JavaScript heap-spray exploit code critical PDF_XFA_HEAP_SPRAY

PDF contains XFA script content with heap-spray or shellcode-like JavaScript markers such as large encoded word sequences, util.pack, large arrays, or spray variable names. This is a weaponised Adobe Reader exploit pattern, not a normal interactive form.
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
