MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution: Malicious File
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment
The critical ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78' and the 'PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD' heuristic indicate that this PDF contains an embedded script designed to exploit vulnerabilities. The presence of XFA forms and embedded files further supports this. The script's exact function is not fully discernible due to obfuscation, but it is highly likely to be a downloader or dropper for further malicious activity. The embedded URLs are not directly indicative of malicious intent but are part of the PDF structure.

-
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78
-
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/
