MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF was flagged by an ML classifier as malicious with a high confidence score. It contains embedded files, including a script payload, which is a common technique for delivering malware. The presence of an embedded file named 'embedded_file_obj0012.bin' is noted as a suspicious artifact. The exact nature of the embedded script could not be fully determined due to its nature, but its presence strongly indicates a malicious intent to execute a secondary payload.

Heuristics 4

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
