The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. ClamAV detections confirm the malicious nature of the file, identifying it as Win.Trojan.Agent-36166. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, which is a common technique for malware delivery.

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.
  • 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.
