MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious Link T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The critical PDF_XFA_SCRIPT heuristic indicates that the XFA form contains risky executable script. This, combined with the PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD firing, strongly suggests the document is designed to exploit a vulnerability to run malicious code. The embedded URL, while benign, is often a component of such attack chains. The ClamAV detection of 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81' further supports this assessment, pointing to a known exploit pattern for dropping additional malware.

Heuristics 6

XFA form contains risky executable script high CVE related PDF_XFA_SCRIPT

PDF 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.
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81
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.
