MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics and a critical ClamAV detection (Win.Trojan.Agent-36166). The JavaScript is heavily obfuscated but appears to be responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, a common technique for malware delivery. The ML classifier also strongly indicates maliciousness.

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
