MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that leverages the CVE-2007-5659 vulnerability (Collab.collectEmailInfo) to execute malicious code. The JavaScript is heavily obfuscated but appears designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. The presence of multiple deobfuscated JavaScript files and the critical heuristic firings strongly indicate an exploit attempt.

Heuristics 6
