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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings. The ClamAV detection of 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36100' strongly suggests malicious intent. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload, which is a common technique for malware delivery. The document body content appears to be obfuscated or corrupted, providing no clear user-facing lure.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
