MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file was identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Js.Exploit.HTML-30, indicating an embedded JavaScript exploit. The presence of an XFA form further supports the exploit vector. The embedded URL, while seemingly benign, is part of the exploit structure. The JavaScript code appears to be obfuscated, making a precise determination of its payload difficult, but it is likely designed to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Js.Exploit.HTML-30 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Js.Exploit.HTML-30
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • PDF differential parser failed info PDF_DIFFERENTIAL_PARSE_FAILED
    The cross-check parser (pdfminer.six) failed on this file: PDF differential parser failed: PSEOF. Static heuristics still ran and any of their findings above are valid; only the differential cross-check signal is missing.
  • 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.
