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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, identified by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The critical CVE_2007_5659 heuristic indicates the use of a known exploit technique involving the 'collab.collectEmailInfo' JavaScript function to execute arbitrary code. Deobfuscated JavaScript files, 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js' and 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js', were extracted, suggesting a multi-stage attack. The primary intent appears to be the execution of this JavaScript to download and run a secondary payload, as indicated by the ClamAV detection of 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36062'.
