MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.007 Scripting: JavaScript T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious File

The PDF file contains XFA forms and embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_XFA and PDF_XFA_SCRIPT heuristics. The embedded JavaScript, named 'deobfuscated.js', is likely responsible for executing the malicious payload. The PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD heuristic further supports the presence of a script payload. The eval() call and String.fromCharCode usage suggest obfuscation techniques within the script.

Heuristics 7

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.
eval() call high PDF_EVAL

eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
Embedded script payload in PDF stream medium 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 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
String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODE

String.fromCharCode found — used to construct payload strings dynamically. Common in benign JavaScript libraries for codepoint manipulation, so this alone is informational; weaponised use is also caught by the dedicated fromCharCode-stage and exploit-shape rules. (matched inside decoded stream)
