MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is a PDF containing embedded JavaScript, identified as malicious by ClamAV (Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36064). The critical heuristic CVE_2007_5659 indicates the use of the Collab.collectEmailInfo method to execute JavaScript, a known vulnerability in older Adobe Reader versions. The extracted JavaScript files, legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js and legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js, likely facilitate the download and execution of further malicious content.
