MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The sample was identified as malicious by multiple heuristics, including a critical ClamAV detection for 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36962'. The presence of PDF_XFA and PDF_ACROFORM_BUTTON heuristics suggests an exploit targeting PDF form functionality. No scripts were extracted, and the document body was unreadable, but the combination of findings strongly indicates an exploit attempting to execute a payload.

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.
