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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that exploits CVE-2007-5659, as indicated by the 'Collab.collectEmailInfo' heuristic. The extracted JavaScript files, 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js' and 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js', suggest a multi-stage download and execution process. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36065' further confirms its malicious nature. The primary attack pattern involves leveraging a PDF vulnerability to run malicious scripts.
