MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript streams, identified by multiple heuristics and ClamAV detection as malicious (Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36128). The JavaScript appears to be obfuscated but is designed to execute code, likely to download and run a second-stage payload. The ML classifier also strongly indicates maliciousness.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36128 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36128
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
