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. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection strongly indicate malicious intent. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as suggested by the 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT' and 'PDF_JS' heuristic firings. The ClamAV detection 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36166' provides a specific identifier for the detected malware.

  • 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.
