The file is identified as a PDF with embedded JavaScript, triggering critical heuristics for ClamAV detection as 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36166'. The presence of JavaScript actions and embedded JS streams strongly suggests that the document is designed to execute malicious code. The primary intent appears to be downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as indicated by the critical ClamAV detections.

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.
