MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded scripts and an embedded file, triggering critical ClamAV detection for Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81. The presence of PDF_EVAL and PDF_XFA_SCRIPT heuristics indicates the execution of risky JavaScript within an XFA form, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload. The embedded file 'embedded_file_obj0010.bin' is flagged as suspicious due to script obfuscation indicators.

Heuristics 8

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: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81
eval() call high PDF_EVAL

eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
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
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE

One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
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.
