HTTP: EmbeddedFile contained within a PDF
This signature detects PDF files with files embedded inside them using the EmbeddedFile property. These files are commonly used as containers for malware that is exploiting non-PDF vulnerabilities. They also, however, have legitimate uses. If your organization uses PDF files with EmbeddedFile features, this signature may trigger on non-malicious files.
