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

The file was detected by ClamAV as Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36962, and a machine learning classifier assigned a high probability of maliciousness. PDF heuristics indicate the presence of an embedded file and an AcroForm button with an action trigger, suggesting an exploit is likely present. The embedded URL, while seemingly benign, is associated with the PDF structure.

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9996

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36962 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36962
  • 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
  • AcroForm button with action trigger low PDF_ACROFORM_BUTTON
    PDF contains a /Btn form field together with a SubmitForm/URI/Launch/JS trigger — this is the building block of fake 'Download' or 'Open' button overlays used in PDF phishing lures
  • 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.
