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

The PDF was flagged as malicious by ClamAV and an ML classifier, with heuristics indicating the presence of an XFA form and an embedded script payload. The embedded JavaScript, though truncated, appears to be designed to execute a payload. The primary IOC is the ClamAV detection name.

  • 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.
