Heuristics 2

  • VBScript-style decimal byte array decodes to a PE payload critical PDF_VBS_DECIMAL_ARRAY_PE_PAYLOAD
    PDF comment text contains a VB/VBScript-style decimal byte array, such as c(077),c(090), that decodes to a verified Windows PE executable. The rule is gated on a comment-line Array(c(...)) assignment and a valid MZ/PE header to keep false positives low.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
