T1204.002 Malicious File
The PDF contains embedded script content, flagged by heuristics as a potential payload. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness. The embedded file, 'embedded_file_obj0008.bin', is likely the exploit or payload carrier. The script itself appears to be obfuscated, making a precise determination of its actions difficult, but it is indicative of an attempt to execute malicious code.

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/
