ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-91 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Dropped-91
Large character-table JavaScript eval stager high PDF_JS_LARGE_CHAR_TABLE_EVAL_STAGER

PDF JavaScript contains a large numeric index array, a short character table, an indirect eval sink, and a long loop that reconstructs a hidden stage. This is an exploit-kit staging technique even when the recovered first stage is still encoded.
