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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that is obfuscated and likely exploits the CVE-2007-5659 vulnerability. Heuristics indicate the JavaScript is designed to collect information and execute further stages, as evidenced by the extracted JavaScript files 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js' and 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js'. This suggests a multi-stage attack where the PDF acts as a dropper.
