MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF document contains embedded JavaScript, identified by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The ClamAV detection 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36170' strongly indicates malicious intent. The deobfuscated JavaScript, named 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js', likely serves as a downloader for a second-stage payload, although its exact functionality is obscured. The DOC BODY content appears to be obfuscated JavaScript code itself, further supporting the malicious nature of the document.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Agent-36170 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Agent-36170
  • 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.

Extracted artifacts 2

Files carved from inside the sample during analysis.
