MITRE ATT&CK

T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF sample contains embedded XFA content and triggers the CVE-2010-0188 exploit, indicating it's designed to execute arbitrary code. The embedded JavaScript, though heavily obfuscated, likely contributes to the exploitation process by interacting with the XFA form. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly support its malicious nature.

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-6136306-0
XFA form low PDF_XFA

PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
Embedded script payload in PDF stream low 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.
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.
