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

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, a common technique for delivering malicious payloads. Heuristics indicate the presence of JavaScript actions and streams within the PDF. A critical ClamAV detection of 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36166' strongly suggests the execution of a known malicious agent. The large size of the embedded JavaScript object (75176 bytes) further supports the likelihood of complex malicious activity, such as downloading and executing a second-stage payload.

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.
