MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious File T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious PDF T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter

The file is identified as a malicious PDF by multiple high-confidence heuristics, including ML classification and ClamAV detections. The presence of XFA forms and an embedded script payload indicates an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities or execute malicious code upon opening. The embedded script is likely responsible for delivering the secondary payload, as suggested by the 'PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD' heuristic.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-6136306-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-6136306-0
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • 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.
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • 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.
