T1204.002 Malicious File
T1059.001 PowerShell
This PDF file was flagged as malicious by multiple high-severity heuristics, including ClamAV detection of 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-92'. The presence of XFA forms with executable scripts and a numeric evaluation stager indicates an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities within the PDF reader. The embedded URL, while seemingly benign, is often used as a lure or a component in the exploit chain. The primary attack pattern involves leveraging XFA scripting to execute arbitrary code, likely to download and run a secondary malicious payload.

-
XFA form contains risky executable script high PDF_XFA_SCRIPTPDF 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.

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-92 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-92
-
XFA numeric character-table eval stager high PDF_XFA_NUMERIC_EVAL_STAGERPDF XFA initialize script reads numeric form data from rawValue, maps the values through a short character table, and evals the reconstructed stage. This is an exploit-kit staging technique even when the final decoded layer remains encoded.
-
XFA form low PDF_XFAPDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
