The file is a PDF document identified by ClamAV as Win.Trojan.Agent-36166. It contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. This JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The presence of these indicators suggests a malicious document designed for payload delivery.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Agent-36166 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Agent-36166
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV 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.
