MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link 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 vulnerability (Collab.collectEmailInfo) to execute this JavaScript. The extracted JavaScript files, legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js and legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js, are likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as suggested by their deobfuscated nature and the overall malicious verdict. The file is classified as unknown family due to the lack of specific indicators pointing to a known malware variant.
