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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that exploits the CVE-2007-5659 vulnerability using the 'collab.collectEmailInfo' method. This JavaScript is further obfuscated and split into multiple files, indicating an attempt to evade detection. The primary function of the script appears to be downloading and executing additional malicious content, as suggested by the presence of deobfuscated JavaScript files named 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js' and 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js'.
