MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell
T1204.002 Malicious File
The PDF file contains embedded Flash content (StagePlayer.swf) and a JavaScript stream (javascript_obj0026_000.js), both flagged as suspicious. ClamAV detected the file as Win.Trojan.Agent-36159, and also flagged the extracted JavaScript artifact. The presence of these embedded objects and the ClamAV detection strongly suggest the PDF is designed to exploit vulnerabilities and download a secondary payload.
Heuristics 8
-
ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Agent-36159 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Agent-36159
-
ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAVClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
-
RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIAPDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector
-
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.
-
Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDEDPDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
-
PDF paints image(s) but contains no text operators info PDF_IMAGE_ONLY_LUREPDF has 1 image XObject(s) and the content stream contains no text-emitting operators (BT/ET, Tj, TJ, ', ") in either raw bytes or decompressed streams — this is the screenshot-as-PDF pattern used to bypass text-based scanners and to deliver instructions purely through rendered pixels. It is informational unless paired with invisible links or risky URI context.
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info 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.
