MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript

The file is a PDF containing embedded JavaScript, which is a common vector for exploiting vulnerabilities. The ClamAV detection of 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36166' strongly suggests malicious intent. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, although its exact function cannot be determined due to obfuscation. The SHA256 hash is included as a primary indicator.

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.
  • JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPT
    PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS
    PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
