MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious Link

This PDF file was flagged as malicious by multiple heuristics, including ML classification and ClamAV detection (Win.Trojan.Agent-36159). It contains embedded JavaScript and a secondary embedded PDF, suggesting it's designed to deliver a further stage of malware. The presence of RichMedia (Flash) and embedded files further supports this. The primary attack vector appears to be exploiting PDF vulnerabilities or tricking the user into executing embedded content.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.8518

Heuristics 8

  • Secondary embedded PDF body has suspicious static findings critical POLYGLOT_CHILD_PDF_STATIC_TRIAGE
    A valid PDF body was found at a nonzero offset inside another container and its carved contents matched PDF exploit or lure heuristics. This catches polyglots where the top-level magic routes to ZIP/OLE while a PDF reader or downstream parser opens the hidden PDF payload.
  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Agent-36159 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Agent-36159
  • RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIA
    PDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector (matched inside decoded stream)
  • JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPT
    PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules. (matched inside decoded stream)
  • Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS
    PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules. (matched inside decoded stream)
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload (matched inside decoded stream)
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
