MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is a PDF containing embedded JavaScript and RichMedia (Flash) content, as indicated by multiple heuristic firings. The ClamAV detection 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36159' strongly suggests malicious intent. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for executing a secondary payload or exploit. Due to the lack of specific script content and benign URLs, the exact family and attack vector remain unclear.

Heuristics 7

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Agent-36159 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Agent-36159
  • RichMedia (Flash) high PDF_RICHMEDIA
    PDF contains /RichMedia (Adobe Flash) which is a historic exploit vector (matched inside decoded stream)
  • 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. (matched inside decoded stream)
  • 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. (matched inside decoded stream)
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload (matched inside decoded stream)
  • PDF paints image(s) but contains no text operators info PDF_IMAGE_ONLY_LURE
    PDF has 2 image XObject(s) and the content stream contains no text-emitting operators (BT/ET, Tj, TJ, ', ") in either raw bytes or decompressed streams — this is the screenshot-as-PDF pattern used to bypass text-based scanners and to deliver instructions purely through rendered pixels. It is informational unless paired with invisible links or risky URI context.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
