Malware Insights

The PDF file contains XFA (XML Forms Architecture) which is known to be a vector for exploits. Specifically, the PDF_XFA_HEAP_SPRAY heuristic indicates the presence of exploit code designed to spray the heap. This is further supported by the PDF_XFA_SCRIPT heuristic, confirming risky executable script within the XFA form. The embedded file 'embedded_file_obj0010.bin' is likely the payload delivered by this exploit. The script's obfuscation indicators suggest an attempt to hide its malicious intent, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 6

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.
XFA JavaScript heap-spray exploit code critical PDF_XFA_HEAP_SPRAY

PDF contains XFA script content with heap-spray or shellcode-like JavaScript markers such as large encoded word sequences, util.pack, large arrays, or spray variable names. This is a weaponised Adobe Reader exploit pattern, not a normal interactive form.
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
