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-36100) confirm its malicious nature. The embedded JavaScript is likely designed to download and execute a secondary payload, a common technique for initial access and further system compromise. The document body content is obfuscated and does not provide clear user-facing lures.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Agent-36100 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Agent-36100
  • 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.
  • JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPT
    PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS
    PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.

Extracted artifacts 2

Files carved from inside the sample during analysis.
