MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The ClamAV detection for 'Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject' further suggests malicious intent. The embedded JavaScript is likely designed to exploit a vulnerability within the PDF reader to download and execute a secondary payload. The presence of XFA form elements also points to a potentially complex and obfuscated document structure often used in malicious PDFs. No specific malware family could be confidently identified.

Heuristics 5

  • 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.
