MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious Link T1204.002 Malicious Link: Malicious File

The critical ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81' strongly indicates this PDF is designed to exploit vulnerabilities. The presence of embedded files and scripts further supports its role as a dropper or exploit delivery mechanism. The PDF structure itself does not contain readable content, suggesting its primary purpose is to host and deliver the malicious payload.

Heuristics 4

  • 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
