The PDF file was detected as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Win.Trojan.Agent-36166. Static analysis revealed embedded JavaScript, indicating an attempt to execute arbitrary code. The presence of JavaScript actions and embedded JS streams strongly suggests the document is designed to exploit vulnerabilities or deliver a payload. The exact nature of the JavaScript execution could not be determined due to its obfuscation, but the overall intent is malicious code execution.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Agent-36166 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
