T1204.002 Malicious File T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The critical ClamAV detection and high ML classifier score strongly indicate malicious intent. The PDF contains embedded files and scripts, suggesting it's a dropper or exploit document. The embedded script payload is a key indicator of the attack vector, likely leading to the download and execution of a second-stage 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
