T1204 Malicious Link
T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter
The PDF file contains embedded scripts and is flagged by multiple heuristics, including ClamAV detection for 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81'. The presence of embedded files and XFA forms suggests an attempt to exploit PDF vulnerabilities. While the specific payload is not detailed, the overall pattern indicates a malicious dropper.

- Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000
Heuristics 6
-
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.
-
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81
-
Embedded script payload in PDF stream medium PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOADPDF 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_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
-
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://ns.adobe.com/xdp/
