The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings. The ClamAV detection of 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36100' strongly suggests malicious intent. The JavaScript is likely used to exploit vulnerabilities within the PDF reader or download a secondary payload. The document body content is heavily obfuscated and does not provide clear user-facing lures.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Agent-36100 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Agent-36100
  • 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.
