T1204.002 Malicious File
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment
The file is identified as a malicious PDF by multiple heuristics, including a critical ClamAV detection (Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78) and a high ML classifier score. The presence of an embedded script payload and an embedded file indicates an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities. While no document body text was available for analysis, the embedded URLs are likely part of the exploit chain or lure.

Embedded script payload in PDF stream medium PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOADPDF 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_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
-
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://ns.adobe.com/xdp/
