T1204.002 Malicious File
T1059.001 PowerShell
This PDF file was flagged as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81. High severity heuristics indicate the presence of risky executable scripts within an XFA form, and an eval() call suggests code execution. The file also contains multiple embedded artifacts, one of which is a significant size (22774 bytes), indicating it likely serves as a payload dropper.

Heuristics 8
-
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: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-81
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
-
Embedded script payload in PDF stream medium PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOADPDF 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_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
-
XFA form low PDF_XFAPDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/
