MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript

The PDF file was detected as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Win.Trojan.Agent-36166. Static analysis revealed embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. This JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload, contributing to the overall malicious nature of the document. The document body was unreadable, so the rationale is based solely on the heuristics and ClamAV detection.

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.
  • 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.

Extracted artifacts 1
