MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link

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 the Collab.collectEmailInfo method, a known vector for exploiting Adobe Reader vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code. The presence of deobfuscated JavaScript files (legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js, legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js) suggests the script's purpose is to download and execute a secondary payload. ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature.

Heuristics 5
