MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by heuristic firings for PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. ClamAV detections (Win.Trojan.Agent-36166) on both the primary file and an extracted artifact confirm its malicious nature. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for executing the malicious payload. The document body is unreadable, preventing further analysis of its lure.

Heuristics 4

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

  • 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.
