MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, which is a common technique for delivering malicious payloads. Heuristic analysis identified JavaScript actions and embedded JS streams. ClamAV detections confirm the malicious nature, specifically identifying it as Win.Trojan.Agent-36166. The embedded JavaScript likely facilitates the execution of this detected malware.

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.
