MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, identified by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The critical CVE-2007-5659 heuristic indicates the use of a known exploit targeting the Collab.collectEmailInfo function to execute JavaScript. The extracted JavaScript files, legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js and legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js, are likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection further confirms the malicious nature of the file.
