The PDF sample contains multiple embedded JavaScript streams, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF as malicious with high confidence. The presence of JavaScript actions and potential exploit indicators like ASCII85Decode filter suggests the document is designed to execute malicious code upon opening. The primary attack vector appears to be leveraging JavaScript embedded within the PDF to achieve arbitrary code execution.

Heuristics 4
-
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPTPDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JSPDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
ASCII85Decode filter (with exploit indicators) low PDF_FILTER_85ASCII85 encoding filter present alongside exploit delivery indicators — uncommon outside of obfuscation
-
Optional Content Group with action trigger low PDF_OPTIONAL_CONTENTOptional Content Group (layer) co-occurs with an action trigger — content can be selectively hidden from viewers or scanners while the action still fires on open
