MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, triggered by the CVE-2007-5659 vulnerability via the Collab.collectEmailInfo method. This JavaScript is heavily obfuscated but appears to be designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. The presence of multiple deobfuscated JavaScript files and the ClamAV detection strongly indicate malicious intent.
