MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell 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 exploitation of a known PDF vulnerability using JavaScript. The presence of deobfuscated JavaScript files named 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js' and 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js' suggests a multi-stage exploit. The primary function of the embedded scripts appears to be downloading and executing further malicious content, consistent with a PDF-based exploit delivery mechanism.

Heuristics 5

  • 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. (identified after JavaScript deobfuscation)
