The PDF was flagged by ClamAV as 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7239117-0', indicating it functions as a dropper. The 'PDF_EMBEDDED_CHILD_STATIC_TRIAGE' heuristic firing suggests the presence of suspicious embedded content, likely intended to deliver a secondary payload. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. No specific document body text was available for analysis, but the embedded nature and dropper classification point to a malicious delivery mechanism.

Heuristics 5

  • Embedded PDF child has suspicious static findings critical PDF_EMBEDDED_CHILD_STATIC_TRIAGE
    PDF contains an embedded PDF stream whose extracted child matches suspicious or malicious PDF heuristics. Wrapper PDFs are commonly used to hide the actual exploit or lure payload from scanners that do not recursively inspect attachments.
  • ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7239117-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7239117-0
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • Remote GoTo action info PDF_GOTO_REMOTE
    PDF has GoToR/GoToE actions that reference sibling document files — typical of multi-part document bundles
  • 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.
