The critical heuristic CVE_2007_5659 indicates the exploitation of a vulnerability in Adobe Reader using a binary-XOR decoded JavaScript stager. This stager is designed to recover and execute an Adobe Reader exploit stage. The PDF_BINARY_XOR_JS_STAGER heuristic further confirms the presence of obfuscated JavaScript used for staging. The ClamAV detection also flags the file as malicious due to obfuscation.
Heuristics 7
-
Collab.collectEmailInfo — CVE-2007-5659 critical CVE exact CVE_2007_5659PDF JavaScript calls Collab.collectEmailInfo — CVE-2007-5659 is a buffer overflow in Adobe Reader triggered by a long argument or heap-sprayed message field passed to Collab.collectEmailInfo(). Part of a series of Acrobat JS API exploits. (identified after JavaScript deobfuscation)

ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
-
Binary-XOR JavaScript stager high PDF_BINARY_XOR_JS_STAGERPDF JavaScript stores viewer-version payload branches as long binary digit strings, XORs each bit pair, converts 8-bit chunks with String.fromCharCode, and evals the recovered exploit stage.
-
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPTPDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JSPDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODEString.fromCharCode found — used to construct payload strings dynamically. Common in benign JavaScript libraries for codepoint manipulation, so this alone is informational; weaponised use is also caught by the dedicated fromCharCode-stage and exploit-shape rules. (matched inside decoded stream)
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
