MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF was flagged by a machine learning classifier and ClamAV as malicious (Js.Exploit.HTML-30). It utilizes XFA forms, a known vector for exploiting PDF vulnerabilities. The embedded JavaScript, although obfuscated, is likely responsible for executing the malicious payload, potentially downloading and running further stages. The embedded URL is a common schema for XFA templates, but its presence in this context is suspicious.
