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

The PDF file exhibits malicious behavior through embedded JavaScript, triggering critical heuristics for ClamAV detection as Win.Trojan.Agent-36166. The presence of JavaScript actions and embedded JS streams strongly suggests the file's intent is to download and execute a malicious payload. The ClamAV detection provides a specific identifier for the detected malware family.

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
