MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

This PDF file was flagged as malicious by multiple high-confidence heuristics, including ClamAV detection of Js.Exploit.HTML-30. The presence of XFA forms with executable scripts and a numeric evaluation stager indicates an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities. The embedded URL, while not directly malicious in reputation, is part of the XFA structure. The primary attack vector appears to be the execution of JavaScript within the XFA form, likely to download and execute a secondary payload.

Heuristics 5

  • XFA form contains risky executable script high CVE related PDF_XFA_SCRIPT
    PDF 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: Js.Exploit.HTML-30 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Js.Exploit.HTML-30
  • XFA numeric character-table eval stager high PDF_XFA_NUMERIC_EVAL_STAGER
    PDF XFA initialize script reads numeric form data from rawValue, maps the values through a short character table, and evals the reconstructed stage. This is an exploit-kit staging technique even when the final decoded layer remains encoded.
  • 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.
