T1204 Malicious Link T1204.002 Malicious Link: Malicious File

The PDF utilizes XFA forms, a known vector for exploitation. ClamAV detection as 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78' and a high ML classifier score strongly indicate malicious intent. The embedded URL, while seemingly benign, is often used in conjunction with exploits within XFA forms to download and execute further stages.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78

  • PDF differential parser failed info PDF_DIFFERENTIAL_PARSE_FAILED
    The cross-check parser (pdfminer.six) failed on this file: PDF differential parser failed: PSEOF. Static heuristics still ran and any of their findings above are valid; only the differential cross-check signal is missing.
  • 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.
