Malware Insights
The PDF file contains multiple high-severity heuristic firings related to JavaScript execution, including `eval()` calls and a large comment-padded JavaScript eval stager. ClamAV also detected this file as 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36086'. The embedded JavaScript stream, while obfuscated, strongly suggests a downloader or stager functionality, likely intended to fetch and execute further malicious content. The presence of `String.fromCharCode` and `eval()` within the JavaScript stream indicates dynamic code construction and execution, a common technique for malware delivery.
Heuristics 7
-
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36086 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36086
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
-
Large comment-padded JavaScript eval stager high PDF_JS_LARGE_COMMENT_PADDED_EVALPDF JavaScript contains a very large stream padded with long random-looking block comments around String.fromCharCode and eval. This is an exploit-kit obfuscation shape used to bury a decoder and recovered stage inside noise, not normal PDF form automation.
-
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPTPDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JSPDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODEString.fromCharCode found — used to construct payload strings dynamically. Common in benign JavaScript libraries for codepoint manipulation, so this alone is informational; weaponised use is also caught by the dedicated fromCharCode-stage and exploit-shape rules. (matched inside decoded stream)
-
