MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious File Execution
T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter
The PDF file contains an embedded script payload, as indicated by the 'PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD' heuristic. ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-156969-1' strongly suggests this is a known exploit. The embedded file artifact further supports the delivery of a secondary malicious component. The primary attack vector appears to be exploiting a PDF vulnerability to execute arbitrary code.
Heuristics 5
-
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-156969-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-156969-1
-
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
-
