MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file was detected by ClamAV as Win.Trojan.Agent-36100. Static analysis revealed embedded JavaScript, which is often used to download and execute further malicious content. The obfuscated nature of the script suggests an attempt to evade detection. The document body content is highly obfuscated and does not provide clear user-facing text.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Agent-36100 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Agent-36100
  • 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.
