T1059.001 PowerShell
T1204.002 Malicious File
The PDF file contains an XFA form with executable script, identified as a stager by heuristics. ClamAV detection as Js.Exploit.HTML-30 further confirms malicious intent. The embedded URL, while seemingly benign, is part of the exploit structure. The script likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload, a common technique for initial access.
Heuristics 5
-
XFA form contains risky executable script high PDF_XFA_SCRIPTPDF 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: Js.Exploit.HTML-30 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Js.Exploit.HTML-30
-
XFA numeric character-table eval stager high PDF_XFA_NUMERIC_EVAL_STAGERPDF XFA initialize script reads numeric form data from rawValue, maps the values through a short character table, and evals the reconstructed stage. This is an exploit-kit staging technique even when the final decoded layer remains encoded.
-
XFA form low PDF_XFAPDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.5/
