MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains an embedded script payload, as indicated by the PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD heuristic and the presence of an embedded PDF script artifact. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly suggest malicious intent, likely involving the execution of JavaScript to exploit a vulnerability. The XFA form detected also points to a complex PDF structure often used for exploitation.

  • 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.
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • 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.
