Malware Insights
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT', 'PDF_JS', and 'PDF_UNESCAPE'. The ML classifier also flagged this PDF as malicious with high confidence. The extracted JavaScript files, 'javascript_obj0020_000.js' and 'javascript_obj0020_001.js', are likely responsible for executing malicious actions, such as downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The obfuscation present in these scripts, noted by the 'EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE' heuristic, further supports malicious intent.

Heuristics 4
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits
-
Suspicious extracted artifact medium EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
-
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.
