MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 JavaScript T1204.001 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, identified as a stager for CVE-2007-5659. The heuristic 'PDF_ANNOT_SUBJECT_CALLEE_HEX_STAGER' indicates that the annotation subject is used to decode and execute hex-encoded JavaScript. This script is responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as suggested by the 'unknown_exploit_score' and the ClamAV detection name 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36179'. The deobfuscated JavaScript is a significant indicator of malicious intent.

Heuristics 6

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)
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36179 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36179
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.
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPT

PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS

PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
