MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains an embedded script payload, indicated by the PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD heuristic. ClamAV detection as Pdf.Exploit.Agent-6136306-0 further confirms its malicious nature. The embedded script is likely responsible for exploiting a vulnerability within the PDF viewer to download and execute a secondary payload. The presence of an embedded URL suggests a potential download source for this payload.

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.
