MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF file was flagged as malicious by multiple engines, including ClamAV which identified it as Win.Trojan.Agent-36100. The presence of embedded JavaScript, indicated by PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics, suggests the file is designed to execute malicious code. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. The obfuscated document body does not provide clear user-facing content, reinforcing the likelihood of a malicious payload being delivered via the embedded scripts.

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.
