This PDF file was flagged as malicious by ClamAV and a machine learning classifier. It contains embedded JavaScript with obfuscation indicators, utilizing eval() and unescape() functions, which are commonly used to download and execute further payloads. The presence of PDF-specific exploit indicators further supports its malicious nature.

Heuristics 9

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-30476 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-30476
eval() call high PDF_EVAL

eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE

unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
ASCIIHexDecode filter (with exploit indicators) medium PDF_FILTER_HEX

Hex-encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — often used to hide payload or shellcode bytes
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPT

PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS

PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODE

String.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)
ASCII85Decode filter (with exploit indicators) low PDF_FILTER_85

ASCII85 encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — uncommon outside of obfuscation
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE

One 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.

Extracted artifacts 1
