ASSP_AFC 4.48 was too weak 
ASSP_AFC 4.49 is possibly too strict, but very safe - it allows to use the 
':PDF' switch 

I'm just looking for a way to prevent false positives.

Here's a sample PDF with javascript that runs at startup (populates a 
field with the current date).

I tested with this new plugin installed and exe-bin blocking.  This plugin 
now blocks all pdf's that have javascript embedded right?  That's not what 
I experienced. 

I created a simple pdf with a button.  That button's action was to run 
javascript to print the document.  I emailed it to myself from gmail.  It 
was received, not blocked. 

Am I missing something?

Hi all, 

I've just published ASSP_AFC.pm version 4.48 at SF-CVS. 

This version contains an extension to detect embedded executable code in 
real PDF files, if 'exe-bin' files are not allowed in the assp 
configuration. 

Currently detected are: 

- java script - most times this is requred by the virus to open and run 
any other embedded code 
- ms office macros 
- exe and com files 
- wsh files 

This extension is hard coded. There is no way to make an exception to 
(e.g)  :PDF  -  like for :ELF, :CSC  :MSOM ......  - because such files 
are every time malicious! 

Currently it seems, that another ransomware attack is starting in 
preparation for the weekend! Distributed are such real PDF files per 
email! 
I don't think that there will be a stupid 'killswitch' in the new viruses 
to save the world. 

I just saw that ClamAV (sanesecurity signatures) detected most of them - 
they all are classified as UNOFFICIAL !!!!. 

Thomas
