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

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Win.Trojan.Agent-36166. Static analysis revealed embedded JavaScript, indicating an attempt to execute malicious code. The JavaScript action and embedded JS stream heuristics suggest the primary function is to download and execute a secondary payload, which is a common technique for malware delivery.

Heuristics 4
