MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link

The file is a PDF containing embedded JavaScript that leverages the CVE-2007-5659 vulnerability (Collab.collectEmailInfo). The JavaScript is heavily obfuscated but appears to be designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The presence of multiple deobfuscated JavaScript files suggests a multi-stage attack. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature.
