Malware Insights
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The PDF_LAUNCH heuristic suggests an attempt to execute an action, and the PDF_EVAL heuristic confirms the use of eval(), which is often used to deobfuscate and execute malicious code. The embedded JavaScript file, javascript_obj0027_000.js, was flagged for script obfuscation indicators. The primary intent appears to be the execution of this script, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload, though the exact mechanism is obfuscated.
Heuristics 5
-
Launch action high PDF_LAUNCHPDF contains a /Launch action with an unresolved or extension-less target — treat as potentially dangerous
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
-
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.
