MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript

The PDF file triggered critical heuristics indicating it contains JavaScript and is detected by ClamAV as Win.Trojan.Agent-36166. The embedded JavaScript stream is likely responsible for the malicious behavior, potentially downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The document body was unreadable, but the presence of JavaScript and the ClamAV detection strongly suggest a malicious intent.

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
