MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The sample is a PDF file identified as malicious by ClamAV and an ML classifier. It contains an XFA form, which is often used to embed malicious JavaScript. The embedded URL, while seemingly benign, is part of the XFA template structure. The JavaScript is likely used to exploit a client-side vulnerability for execution.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Js.Exploit.HTML-30 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Js.Exploit.HTML-30
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • PDF differential parser failed info PDF_DIFFERENTIAL_PARSE_FAILED
    The cross-check parser (pdfminer.six) failed on this file: PDF differential parser failed: PSEOF. Static heuristics still ran and any of their findings above are valid; only the differential cross-check signal is missing.
  • 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.
