This PDF sample was flagged by multiple high-severity heuristics, including PDF_EVAL and PDF_UNESCAPE, indicating the presence of obfuscated JavaScript. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly suggest malicious intent. The embedded JavaScript streams, particularly the deobfuscated one, likely contain code to download and execute a secondary payload, a common technique for initial access.

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.
