The critical ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81' strongly indicates a PDF exploit. The heuristic 'PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD' further suggests that a script is embedded within the PDF stream, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload. The presence of multiple embedded files reinforces the nature of this dropper.
Heuristics 4
-
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81
-
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
