The PDF file was detected as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Win.Trojan.Agent-36166. Static analysis revealed embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The presence of JavaScript suggests an attempt to execute malicious code, potentially for downloading further payloads or exploiting vulnerabilities within the PDF reader. The extracted ClamAV signature is the primary IOC.

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.
