T1059.001 PowerShell
T1204.001 Malicious Link
The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that utilizes eval() and unescape() functions, indicating obfuscation. The critical CVE-2007-5659 heuristic firing points to the use of Collab.collectEmailInfo for JavaScript execution. This technique is commonly used to download and execute further malicious content. No specific family could be identified, but the attack pattern is consistent with PDF-based malware delivery.
Heuristics 6
-
Collab.collectEmailInfo — CVE-2007-5659 critical CVE exact CVE_2007_5659PDF 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)
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
-
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPEunescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
-
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPTPDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JSPDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
