MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified as malicious by ML classifiers and ClamAV with a specific detection name, Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36962. It exhibits characteristics of an exploit, including XFA form usage and embedded files, suggesting it aims to execute arbitrary code. The lack of document body text or scripts prevents a more detailed analysis of the payload or specific lure, but the exploit nature is clear.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36962 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36962
  • 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
  • AcroForm button with action trigger low PDF_ACROFORM_BUTTON
    PDF contains a /Btn form field together with a SubmitForm/URI/Launch/JS trigger — this is the building block of fake 'Download' or 'Open' button overlays used in PDF phishing lures
  • 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.
