T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter T1566 Phishing T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204 User Execution T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF was flagged by a machine learning classifier as malicious with a high probability. It contains embedded files, including a large binary file (embedded_file_obj0012.bin), and an embedded script payload. These components indicate the PDF is likely intended to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 4

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.
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
