T1204.002 Malicious File T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness, supported by heuristics for embedded scripts and actions within PDF forms. The embedded URL is likely part of the exploit chain, though its specific function is not detailed. No scripts were extracted from this sample, limiting further analysis of the payload's behavior.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 5

  • 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
  • AcroForm button with action trigger low PDF_ACROFORM_BUTTON
    PDF contains a /Btn form field together with a SubmitForm/URI/Launch/JS trigger — this is the building block of fake 'Download' or 'Open' button overlays used in PDF phishing lures
  • 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.
