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

The PDF file was detected as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Html.Trojan.Agent-35518. Further analysis revealed embedded JavaScript, identified as Js.Exploit.Shellcode-18, which is a strong indicator of a malicious payload delivery mechanism. The JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload from a remote source, although the specific URL or execution method could not be fully determined from the available data.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Html.Trojan.Agent-35518 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Html.Trojan.Agent-35518
  • 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.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
