Malware Insights
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript streams that are heavily obfuscated using eval() and unescape() calls. The heuristics indicate suspicious JavaScript activity and the presence of eval() and unescape() functions, which are commonly used to hide malicious code. The extracted JavaScript files, javascript_obj0007_000.js and javascript_obj0007_001.js, are likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload. Due to the obfuscation, the exact nature of the payload and its ultimate destination could not be determined with high confidence.
Heuristics 5
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits
-
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.
-
