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

The PDF file was flagged as malicious by multiple engines, including ClamAV which identified it as Html.Trojan.Agent-35518. A critical heuristic indicated the presence of embedded JavaScript, and an extracted artifact was also detected by ClamAV as Js.Exploit.Shellcode-18. This suggests the JavaScript is responsible for downloading and executing a malicious payload.

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

  • 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.
