MITRE ATT&CK

T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.001 PowerShell T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The PDF file contains embedded script payloads and is flagged as exploiting XFA forms, indicating it's designed to deliver a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81' further supports this. While the exact script functionality is obscured by the embedded nature and potential obfuscation, the presence of embedded files and scripts strongly suggests a download-and-execute attack pattern. No specific family could be confidently identified.

Heuristics 6

XFA form contains risky executable script high CVE related PDF_XFA_SCRIPT

PDF 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-81 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81
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.
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED

PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
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.
