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

The PDF file contains an embedded script payload and triggers a critical ClamAV detection for Pdf.Exploit.Agent. The ML classifier also flagged it as highly malicious. The presence of XFA form elements and embedded script suggests an exploit attempt, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload.

  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • 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.
