MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, identified by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The critical CVE_2007_5659 heuristic indicates the exploitation of a known PDF vulnerability using a specific JavaScript technique involving the 'collab.collectEmailInfo' method. This technique is used to construct and execute JavaScript code, likely for downloading and executing a secondary payload. The presence of deobfuscated JavaScript files further supports this. The ClamAV detection of 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36062' confirms the malicious nature.

Heuristics 5

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