T1204.002 Malicious File
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The critical ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78' and the 'PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD' heuristic indicate that this PDF contains an embedded script designed to exploit vulnerabilities. The embedded file artifact further supports the delivery of a malicious payload. The exact nature of the script's execution is unclear due to obfuscation, but it is highly likely to download and execute a second-stage payload.
Heuristics 5
-
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78
-
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
-
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/
