T1204.002 Malicious Link: Malicious File
The PDF was flagged by ClamAV as Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-78 and a machine learning classifier with high confidence. Heuristics indicate an embedded script payload and an embedded file, suggesting the PDF is a dropper. The embedded URLs, while mostly benign or unknown, are part of the PDF structure and do not directly indicate malicious intent on their own. No scripts were extracted from this sample, limiting the ability to determine the exact payload delivery mechanism.

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/
