MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File

The critical ClamAV heuristic 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36830' strongly indicates this PDF is malicious and exploits a known vulnerability. The presence of embedded files and XFA forms are common characteristics of malicious PDFs. While no specific script was extracted, the PDF structure and heuristic suggest it's designed to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36830 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36830
  • 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.
