MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The PDF file exhibits multiple indicators of malicious intent, including embedded files and a high-confidence ML classifier score. The presence of embedded script payloads within PDF streams is a common technique for delivering malware. While the document body content is not directly readable, the heuristics strongly suggest the file is a container for malicious content.

Heuristics 4

  • Embedded script payload in PDF stream medium PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD
    PDF 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_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.
