MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell

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, which is a common technique for malware delivery. The document body is unreadable, so the rationale is based 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.

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
