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

The sample is a PDF file flagged by ClamAV as Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject and a machine learning classifier as malicious. Heuristics indicate the presence of XFA forms and embedded files, suggesting an attempt to exploit PDF vulnerabilities for code execution. The obfuscated nature of the document body and the embedded object further support a malicious intent, likely to download and execute a secondary payload.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
  • 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
  • Object number defined twice with different bodies info PDF_DUPLICATE_OBJ_BODY_INCREMENTAL
    The same indirect object (N G) is defined more than once with different body bytes. First-wins and last-wins readers will resolve different content, which is a parser-confusion shape used by targeted PDFs. Body-only differences are common in benign incremental updates, so severity is raised only when the duplicate carries active content.
  • PDF differential parser failed info PDF_DIFFERENTIAL_PARSE_FAILED
    The cross-check parser (pdfminer.six) failed on this file: PDF differential parser failed: PSSyntaxError. Static heuristics still ran and any of their findings above are valid; only the differential cross-check signal is missing.
