MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file contains XFA (XML Forms Architecture) which is known to be vulnerable to script execution. Heuristics indicate the presence of executable script and a numeric evaluation stager, strongly suggesting it's designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection 'Js.Exploit.HTML-30' further confirms its malicious nature, likely involving JavaScript exploitation.

Heuristics 5

  • 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: Js.Exploit.HTML-30 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Js.Exploit.HTML-30
  • XFA numeric character-table eval stager high PDF_XFA_NUMERIC_EVAL_STAGER
    PDF XFA initialize script reads numeric form data from rawValue, maps the values through a short character table, and evals the reconstructed stage. This is an exploit-kit staging technique even when the final decoded layer remains encoded.
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • 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.
