T1059.001 PowerShell
T1204.002 Malicious File
This PDF file was flagged as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Js.Exploit.HTML-30, indicating it contains exploit code. High-severity heuristics confirm the presence of risky executable scripts within an XFA form, specifically a numeric evaluation stager. The embedded URL, while seemingly benign, is part of the exploit chain. The primary attack vector appears to be leveraging XFA scripting to execute arbitrary code, likely to download and run a second-stage payload.

-
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.

-
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
