MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, identified by multiple heuristics including 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT' and 'PDF_JS'. The critical 'CVE_2007_5659' heuristic indicates the exploitation of a known vulnerability related to the 'Collab.collectEmailInfo' function, which is used to execute JavaScript. The presence of deobfuscated JavaScript files ('legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js', 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js') suggests the script's purpose is to download and execute a secondary payload. ClamAV also detected this as 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36065'.
