T1204 Malicious File
T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious PDF
The critical ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78' and the 'PDF_EMBEDDED_SCRIPT_PAYLOAD' heuristic indicate this PDF contains and likely executes an embedded exploit. The presence of XFA form elements and embedded files further supports its malicious nature. The embedded URLs are benign or unknown, and no script content was directly available for analysis.
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/
