This PDF was detected by ClamAV as Pdf.Dropper.Agent-6205996-0, indicating it functions as a dropper. High-confidence heuristics indicate the presence of encrypted content and JavaScript actions, suggesting the payload is hidden and executed via script. The ML classifier also strongly flagged this PDF as malicious. The document body is unreadable, but the combination of encryption and JavaScript points to a sophisticated delivery mechanism for a second-stage payload.

  • Encrypted PDF carries /OpenAction — payload hidden from static analysis high PDF_ENCRYPTED_WITH_JS
    PDF declares /Encrypt and also references an executable trigger (/OpenAction). Document encryption hides the JavaScript body and stream contents from static scanners — combined with auto-execution indicators this is a known evasion pattern used to deliver weaponised JavaScript that the analyst cannot inspect without the decryption key.
