Correlated malicious PDF JavaScript signals critical PDF_CORRELATED_MALICIOUS_JSPDF JavaScript or auto-action content is corroborated by exploit staging, ML, or suspicious extracted-artifact findings. This correlation promotes old exploit-kit PDFs that otherwise remain in the suspicious band because each individual signal is intentionally weighted conservatively.
-
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.
