T1204.002 Malicious File
T1059.007 JavaScript/VBScript
The PDF file contains XFA (XML Forms Architecture) which is known to be a vector for exploits. Specifically, the 'PDF_XFA_SCRIPT' and 'PDF_XFA_NUMERIC_EVAL_STAGER' heuristics indicate the presence of executable script within the XFA form, designed to evaluate numeric expressions as a stager. This stager likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload. The embedded URL, while seemingly benign, is part of the XFA structure and could be used in conjunction with the exploit.
Heuristics 5
-
XFA form contains risky executable script high PDF_XFA_SCRIPTPDF embeds an XFA form whose script block contains exploit, submission/launch, or shell-execution primitives. Ordinary LiveCycle print/update scripts are left as generic XFA/JS signals unless stronger behavior is present.
-
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-92 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-92
-
XFA numeric character-table eval stager high PDF_XFA_NUMERIC_EVAL_STAGERPDF XFA initialize script reads numeric form data from rawValue, maps the values through a short character table, and evals the reconstructed stage. This is an exploit-kit staging technique even when the final decoded layer remains encoded.
-
XFA form low PDF_XFAPDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
