MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file was flagged by ClamAV as Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78, indicating it is a known malicious PDF. The presence of an XFA form is a common technique used in PDF exploits. An embedded URL was also found, likely used to download a secondary payload. The differential parser failure suggests potential obfuscation or malformation.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • 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.
