MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution: Malicious Attachment
T1059.007 Command and Scripting Interpreter: JavaScript
The PDF file contains XFA (XML Forms Architecture) elements, which are known to be exploited to execute embedded scripts. The 'PDF_XFA_SCRIPT' and 'PDF_XFA_NUMERIC_EVAL_STAGER' heuristics indicate that these scripts are designed to act as a stager, likely downloading and executing a secondary payload. The embedded URL, while seemingly benign, is part of the XFA template structure and could be a vector for further malicious activity. The confidence is high due to the specific XFA stager detection.
Heuristics 4
-
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
-
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://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.5/
