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 main file and an extracted artifact confirm its malicious nature. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for executing the detected malware payload.

Heuristics 4

    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.
