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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that leverages the CVE-2007-5659 vulnerability by using the Collab.collectEmailInfo method. This JavaScript is designed to deobfuscate and execute further stages, indicated by the extracted files 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js' and 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js'. The overall intent is to download and execute a secondary payload, typical of a multi-stage attack.
