Malware Insights
The PDF sample contains obfuscated JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT', 'PDF_JS', 'PDF_EVAL', and 'PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGER'. The ML classifier also flagged it as malicious with high confidence. The embedded JavaScript stream, named 'javascript_obj0011_000.js', is likely responsible for executing the malicious payload. The exact functionality of the script is obscured, but the presence of eval() calls and stager techniques strongly suggests it's designed to download and execute further malicious code.

Heuristics 5
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
-
Page-word XOR JavaScript eval stager high PDF_PAGE_WORD_XOR_EVAL_STAGERPDF 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_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.
-
