The critical ClamAV heuristic 'Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject' and the 'PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGER' heuristic indicate that this PDF is designed to execute obfuscated JavaScript. The embedded JavaScript stream, though truncated, likely serves as a stager to download and execute a secondary payload. The PDF's metadata suggests it was authored by 'Wigejobawaqivlirore', which may be a custom obfuscation or packing tool.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
  • Page-word XOR JavaScript eval stager high PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGER
    PDF JavaScript enumerates rendered page words with getPageNthWord/getPageNumWords, extracts encoded byte fragments, XOR-decodes the stage with char-code helpers, and evals the result. This is an old exploit-kit staging pattern and is not normal document JavaScript.
  • 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.
