T1059.001 Scripting: PowerShell
T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious File
The PDF file contains XFA (XML Forms Architecture) which is known to be vulnerable to heap spray attacks. The embedded JavaScript, identified by the PDF_XFA_HEAP_SPRAY and PDF_XFA_SCRIPT heuristics, is responsible for executing this exploit. The script likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload from the reconstructed URL: http://rotbirakohashan.no-ip.info:80/eHYnGtg?dcQ H=13&zWsL=12651. The ML classifier also strongly indicates maliciousness.

-
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 JavaScript heap-spray exploit code critical PDF_XFA_HEAP_SPRAYPDF contains XFA script content with heap-spray or shellcode-like JavaScript markers such as large encoded word sequences, util.pack, large arrays, or spray variable names. This is a weaponised Adobe Reader exploit pattern, not a normal interactive form.
-
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.
-
XFA form low PDF_XFAPDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
-
String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODEString.fromCharCode found — used to construct payload strings dynamically. Common in benign JavaScript libraries for codepoint manipulation, so this alone is informational; weaponised use is also caught by the dedicated fromCharCode-stage and exploit-shape rules. (matched inside decoded stream)
