Heuristics 2

  • Base64-encoded Windows executable payload in PDF critical PDF_BASE64_PE_PAYLOAD
    PDF text contains a long base64 blob that decodes to a verified Windows PE executable. This catches payloads hidden after EOF, inside comments, or in plain text outside normal PDF streams.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high 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
