MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by heuristic firings for PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. ClamAV detections (Win.Trojan.Agent-36166) on both the main file and an extracted artifact confirm its malicious nature. The embedded JavaScript is the likely vector for the detected malware, although its specific actions are not detailed in the provided evidence.

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.
