MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, which is a common technique for delivering malicious payloads. ClamAV detections of 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36166' strongly suggest the presence of a known trojan. The JavaScript action and embedded JS stream heuristics further support the malicious nature of the file, likely involving the execution of a secondary stage.

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.
