MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is a PDF document identified as malicious by ClamAV and an ML classifier. It contains an embedded JavaScript payload within an XFA form, which is a common technique for exploiting PDF vulnerabilities. The script is heavily obfuscated but appears designed to download and execute a second-stage payload, indicated by the heuristic firings and the nature of XFA exploits. No specific family could be confidently identified.

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-6136306-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-6136306-0
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • Embedded script payload in PDF stream low 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 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.
