T1204 Malicious Link
T1204.002 Malicious Link: Malicious File
The PDF contains embedded content and a script payload, as indicated by the PDF_EMBEDDED and PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD heuristics. ClamAV detection as Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78 further confirms its malicious nature. The embedded script likely attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload, although the script content is too obfuscated to determine the exact mechanism. The presence of XFA form elements also suggests a potential exploit vector.

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78
-
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
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/
