T1204 Malicious File T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution: Malicious Attachment T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter T1059.001 Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell

This PDF file contains embedded script payloads, indicated by the PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD and PDF_XFA_SCRIPT heuristics. The ClamAV detection of 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81' strongly suggests it's designed to exploit a vulnerability and drop a secondary payload. The presence of multiple embedded files further supports this, as they likely contain the malicious components. The exact nature of the dropped payload cannot be determined from the provided evidence, but the exploit mechanism is clear.

Heuristics 5

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
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
