The PDF file contains an XFA form and triggers a critical heuristic for CVE-2010-0188, indicating an exploit targeting Adobe Reader's LibTIFF component. ClamAV also detected it as Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36821. The embedded URL, while not directly malicious in reputation, is part of the XFA template structure and likely related to the exploit delivery mechanism.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36821 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36821
  • 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.
