MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, triggered by the CVE-2007-5659 vulnerability related to Collab.collectEmailInfo. The heuristic 'PDF_ANNOT_SUBJECT_CALLEE_HEX_STAGER' indicates that the annotation subject contains a hex-encoded JavaScript stager. This stager is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, although the exact payload and its destination could not be determined from the provided evidence.

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36180 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36180
Annotation subject callee-key hex JavaScript stager high PDF_ANNOT_SUBJECT_CALLEE_HEX_STAGER

PDF JavaScript uses syncAnnotScan()/getAnnots() to read an indirect annotation /Subject stream, percent-decodes it through marker replacement, then uses a callee.toString()-derived key to decode and eval the final exploit stage.
