Static analysis identified embedded JavaScript within the PDF document, flagged by multiple heuristics including ML classification and JavaScript stream detection. The JavaScript stream, named 'javascript_obj0020_000.js', is obfuscated and likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload. The presence of unescape() calls further indicates obfuscation techniques commonly used to hide malicious code execution. The ML classifier's high score strongly suggests malicious intent.

Heuristics 4
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
-
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.
