MITRE ATT&CK

T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file exhibits multiple critical heuristic firings, including ClamAV detections for 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36789' and 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36809', indicating a known malicious signature. The presence of an XFA form and an embedded script payload further supports its malicious nature. The embedded script is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as suggested by the 'PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD' heuristic. The embedded URL, while seemingly benign, is part of the exploit chain.

Heuristics 5

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36789 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36789
ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV

ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
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.
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.
