The critical heuristic CVE_2007_5659 indicates the exploitation of a known vulnerability in Adobe Reader using embedded JavaScript. The PDF launcher concatenates and evaluates obfuscated JavaScript, which is further supported by the presence of deobfuscated JavaScript files. This suggests the primary goal is to execute arbitrary code, likely to download and run a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 5

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