Heuristics 4

  • 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
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • 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.

Detection
ClamAV: No threats found
Obfuscation or payload: likely
88 of 173 identifiers look randomly generated (e.g. 'af49Z0ma5VPzQs8kG5LYzdRdjd3QUJCaDNPcnJQM'); 2 string-concatenation chain(s) — consistent with name-mangling obfuscation. Carved artifact contains 1 long base64-like blob(s).
