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

This PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that leverages the CVE-2007-5659 vulnerability via the Collab.collectEmailInfo method. The JavaScript is obfuscated and appears to be part of a multi-stage process, with extracted files named 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js' and 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js' suggesting further execution. The primary goal is likely to download and execute a secondary malicious payload.
