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

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 via JavaScript. The extracted artifacts 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js' and 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js' suggest a multi-stage JavaScript execution, typical of exploit kits designed to download and execute further payloads. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature.

Heuristics 5

  • Collab.collectEmailInfo — CVE-2007-5659 critical CVE exact CVE_2007_5659
