MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. ClamAV detections (Win.Trojan.Agent-36166) confirm the malicious nature of the file and its extracted artifacts. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, which is a common technique for malware delivery.

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.
