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

The file is a PDF containing embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics as malicious. Specifically, the CVE-2007-5659 heuristic indicates the use of the Collab.collectEmailInfo method to execute JavaScript. The extracted JavaScript files, legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js and legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js, are large and show obfuscation indicators, suggesting they are designed to download and execute further malicious content. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature.
