MITRE ATT&CK

T1553.005 Mark-of-the-Web Bypass T1204.002 Malicious File T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The PDF file was flagged by a machine learning classifier as malicious with a high confidence score. It contains embedded files and a script payload, indicating it is likely a dropper or downloader. The presence of an embedded file object, specifically 'embedded_file_obj0012.bin', is a primary indicator of malicious intent, suggesting it is the payload or a component thereof.

Heuristics 4

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
