T1204.002 Malicious File
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment
The PDF file was flagged by ClamAV as Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78, indicating it contains an exploit and likely drops a secondary payload. The presence of an embedded script payload and an embedded file further supports this, suggesting the document is designed to execute malicious code upon opening. The embedded URLs are benign or unknown, providing no direct IOCs.

-
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78
-

-
XFA form low PDF_XFAPDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/
