The PDF file exhibits multiple heuristic firings related to JavaScript and XFA forms, with a critical ClamAV detection for obfuscated objects. While the document body is unreadable, the presence of embedded JavaScript suggests an attempt to execute malicious code. The embedded URLs, though mostly unknown or benign, are included as potential indicators. The obfuscated nature of the JavaScript and the lack of clear indicators for a specific family lead to a moderate confidence score.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
  • 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.
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
