The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, which is a common vector for malware delivery. ClamAV detections of 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36166' strongly suggest malicious intent. The JavaScript's specific actions could not be fully determined due to obfuscation, but its presence in conjunction with the ClamAV signature points to a trojan downloader or agent.

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.
