T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution: Malicious Attachment
T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter
The PDF contains an embedded script payload within an XFA form, indicated by multiple high and medium severity heuristic firings. This script is likely intended to execute malicious code or download a second-stage payload. The embedded artifact 'embedded_file_obj0001.bin' is also flagged as suspicious.
Heuristics 4
-
XFA form contains risky executable script high PDF_XFA_SCRIPTPDF 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.
-
Embedded script payload in PDF stream medium PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOADPDF 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_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
-
XFA form low PDF_XFAPDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
