The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, which is a common technique for delivering malicious payloads. ClamAV detections for 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36166' strongly suggest the presence of a known trojan. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, although the exact mechanism is not fully detailed in the provided heuristics.

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.
