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

The PDF file triggered critical heuristics indicating it is malicious, specifically ClamAV detections for 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36166'. The presence of embedded JavaScript further supports a malicious intent, likely for exploitation or payload delivery. The document body was unreadable, but the combination of PDF format, JavaScript, and ClamAV detection strongly suggests a malicious PDF dropper or exploit.

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.
