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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that leverages the CVE-2007-5659 vulnerability (Collab.collectEmailInfo) to execute arbitrary code. The heuristics indicate that this JavaScript is likely used to download and execute a second-stage payload, as evidenced by the extraction of deobfuscated JavaScript files. The ClamAV detection further confirms the malicious nature of the file.

Heuristics 5

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