MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file contains an embedded script payload and triggers XFA form heuristics, indicating it is designed to exploit vulnerabilities. ClamAV detections confirm its malicious nature, identifying it as Pdf.Exploit.Agent-6136306-0 and Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36769 on an extracted artifact. The embedded script is likely responsible for delivering the exploit payload.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-6136306-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-6136306-0
  • 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.
