The sample is a PDF file that contains obfuscated JavaScript. Heuristics indicate the use of eval() and fromCharCode, common techniques for JavaScript stagers. The presence of 'Large comment-padded JavaScript eval stager' and 'ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36086' strongly suggests this PDF is designed to exploit a vulnerability and download a secondary payload. The exact nature of the payload is not discernible from the provided evidence, but the overall pattern points to a malicious downloader.
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)
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
