MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is a PDF containing embedded JavaScript, which is a common vector for exploiting vulnerabilities. Specifically, the 'CVE_2007_5659' heuristic firing indicates the use of the Collab.collectEmailInfo method, a known exploit for older PDF readers. The 'ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-20366' detection further confirms its malicious nature. The presence of JavaScript and the exploit technique suggest the document is designed to download and execute a secondary payload.

Heuristics 7

  • Collab.collectEmailInfo — CVE-2007-5659 critical CVE exact CVE_2007_5659
    PDF JavaScript calls Collab.collectEmailInfo — CVE-2007-5659 is a buffer overflow in Adobe Reader triggered by a long argument or heap-sprayed message field passed to Collab.collectEmailInfo(). Part of a series of Acrobat JS API exploits. (matched in decompressed stream)
  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-20366 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-20366
  • unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE
    unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
  • 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.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
