T1204.002 Malicious File
The PDF contains a malicious XFA form with executable script, as indicated by multiple high-severity heuristics including PDF_XFA_SCRIPT and PDF_XFA_NUMERIC_EVAL_STAGER. ClamAV also detected it as Js.Exploit.HTML-30. The embedded script likely serves as a stager to download and execute a second-stage payload. The presence of an embedded URL further supports this. The ML classifier's high score reinforces the malicious nature of the file.

-
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: Js.Exploit.HTML-30 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Js.Exploit.HTML-30
-
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
