ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.CVE_2009_0927-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.CVE_2009_0927-1
OpenAction trigger high PDF_OPENACTION

PDF has an /OpenAction — code runs automatically when opened
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE

unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
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.
