MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file was flagged by multiple heuristics, including ML classification and ClamAV, indicating it contains an exploit. The presence of embedded files and scripts, along with the ClamAV detection name 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36834', strongly suggests it's designed to deliver a malicious payload. The document body content is obfuscated and does not provide clear user-facing lures.

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36834 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36834
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • Embedded script payload in PDF stream medium PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD
    PDF 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_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested 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.
