MITRE ATT&CK

T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF file contains XFA forms with executable scripts, triggering high severity heuristics for eval() calls and XFA script execution. ML classification and ClamAV detection strongly indicate malicious intent. The presence of embedded files, specifically 'embedded_file_obj0011.bin' and 'embedded_file_obj0014.bin', suggests these are likely payloads or components of the exploit. The script execution within the XFA form is indicative of an attempt to exploit a vulnerability for client-side execution, likely to download and run a secondary payload.

Heuristics 8

XFA form contains risky executable script high CVE related PDF_XFA_SCRIPT

PDF embeds an XFA form whose script block contains exploit, submission/launch, or shell-execution primitives. Ordinary LiveCycle print/update scripts are left as generic XFA/JS signals unless stronger behavior is present.
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81
eval() call high PDF_EVAL

eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
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 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.
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE

One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
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.
