This PDF file was flagged as malicious by an ML classifier with high confidence. It contains embedded JavaScript, which is used to encrypt the document and hide its true content via an /OpenAction. This technique is commonly used to evade static analysis and deliver malicious payloads. The obfuscated nature of the JavaScript prevents a detailed analysis of its specific actions, but the overall pattern suggests an attempt to conceal malicious activity.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
  • 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.
