MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains a JavaScript stager embedded within an annotation subject. This stager is obfuscated and uses a hex decoder before evaluating the payload. The critical heuristic CVE_2007_5659 indicates the exploitation of a known vulnerability in Adobe PDF readers to achieve arbitrary code execution. The primary function of the stager appears to be downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as suggested by the 'callee-key hex stager' description.

Heuristics 5

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

PDF 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)
Annotation subject callee-key hex JavaScript stager high PDF_ANNOT_SUBJECT_CALLEE_HEX_STAGER

PDF JavaScript uses syncAnnotScan()/getAnnots() to read an indirect annotation /Subject stream, percent-decodes it through marker replacement, then uses a callee.toString()-derived key to decode and eval the final exploit stage.
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPT

PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS

PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
