T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The ClamAV detection confirms its malicious nature, identifying it as Win.Trojan.Agent-36169. The deobfuscated JavaScript, legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js, likely attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload, a common technique for initial access.

Heuristics 5

ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Agent-36169 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Agent-36169
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.
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.
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.
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE

One 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.
