The critical heuristics PDF_OBFUSCATED_NAME_OBJECT and CLAMAV_DETECTION (Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36142) indicate the PDF contains obfuscated JavaScript designed to exploit a vulnerability. The embedded JavaScript attempts to decode and execute a payload, likely a downloader, based on its structure and the use of app.eval. The ML classifier also strongly flagged this PDF as malicious.

Heuristics 4

  • Hex-obfuscated scripting name object critical PDF_OBFUSCATED_NAME_OBJECT
    A PDF name object that drives script execution (/JavaScript or /JS) is written with #XX hex escapes to hide it from string-based scanners — e.g. /J#61v#61S#63r#69p#74 decoding to /JavaScript. Legitimate PDF producers always write these names literally; hex-encoding an executable name is a deliberate evasion used by exploit-kit and dropper PDFs.
  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36142 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36142
  • 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.
