MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings. ClamAV detections confirm the file is malicious, specifically identifying it as 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36166'. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, which is a common technique for this type of threat.

Heuristics 4

    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.
