MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The ClamAV detection of 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36169' strongly suggests malicious intent. The deobfuscated JavaScript, legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js, likely contains code to download and execute a secondary payload, a common technique for initial access. The document body content appears to be obfuscated script fragments rather than user-facing text, further supporting a malicious function.
Heuristics 5
-
ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Agent-36169 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Agent-36169
-
ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAVClamAV 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_JAVASCRIPTPDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JSPDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
