MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript and an embedded file, triggering critical heuristics for CVE-2010-0188 (Adobe Reader LibTIFF XFA image exploit) and a general ClamAV detection for Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36078. The embedded JavaScript and file are likely used to deliver and execute a malicious payload, exploiting the identified vulnerability. The presence of an XFA form and a button with an action trigger further support the exploit delivery mechanism.

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36078 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36078
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPT

PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS

PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
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
AcroForm button with action trigger low PDF_ACROFORM_BUTTON

PDF contains a /Btn form field together with a SubmitForm/URI/Launch/JS trigger — this is the building block of fake 'Download' or 'Open' button overlays used in PDF phishing lures
