MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The PDF file exhibits characteristics of malicious intent through obfuscated naming objects and the presence of an embedded binary file. The ClamAV heuristic 'Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject' strongly suggests malicious activity. The embedded file, 'embedded_file_obj0001.bin', is likely a secondary payload. The XFA form and embedded file heuristics further support the conclusion that this document is designed to deliver malware.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
