MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.007 JavaScript/JScript

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. The critical CVE_2007_5659 firing specifically points to the exploitation of a known vulnerability using JavaScript. The embedded JavaScript streams, particularly 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js' and 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js', are likely responsible for executing the malicious payload. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature.

Heuristics 6

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

ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35905 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35905
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE

unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
