MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link

The file is a PDF containing embedded JavaScript that exploits CVE-2007-5659 via the Collab.collectEmailInfo method. The JavaScript is heavily obfuscated but appears to decode and execute further code. This is a common technique for delivering second-stage malware. The ClamAV detection of Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35905 further supports this assessment.
