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 confirm the file is malicious, identifying it as Win.Trojan.Agent-36100. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for exploiting vulnerabilities within the PDF reader or delivering a secondary payload, contributing to the overall malicious intent of the document.

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.
