MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, identified by multiple heuristics including PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. The critical CVE_2007_5659 heuristic indicates the exploitation of a known PDF vulnerability using JavaScript. The extracted JavaScript files, legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js and legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js, suggest a multi-stage process, likely involving the download and execution of further malicious content. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature.

Heuristics 5
