MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, triggered by the 'Collab.collectEmailInfo' method, which is known to exploit CVE-2007-5659. The heuristic firings indicate that this JavaScript is used to launch a secondary payload. The extracted JavaScript files, 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js' and 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js', likely contain further obfuscated code responsible for downloading and executing additional malicious content, typical of a multi-stage attack.
