Malware Insights
This PDF was flagged by a machine learning classifier and ClamAV as malicious, specifically identified as Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7212448-0. Static analysis revealed embedded JavaScript, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics, and the use of String.fromCharCode, suggesting obfuscation. An extracted JavaScript file, javascript_obj0007_000.js, was also identified as a suspicious artifact. The presence of these elements strongly indicates the PDF's purpose is to execute malicious JavaScript, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload.

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.
