The PDF was flagged by multiple heuristics, including a critical ClamAV detection for 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-6136306-0' and a high ML score. The presence of an XFA form and an embedded script payload indicates an exploit attempt. The embedded script likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload, though its exact function is obscured by the PDF structure. The confidence is high due to multiple strong indicators.

  • 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.
