The PDF file was flagged as malicious by a machine learning classifier and ClamAV with the signature Js.Exploit.HTML-30, indicating it likely contains embedded JavaScript exploits. The presence of an XFA form and an embedded URL further supports this. The embedded URL is likely part of the exploit chain.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Js.Exploit.HTML-30 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Js.Exploit.HTML-30
  • 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.
