T1204.001 Malicious Link
The file is a PDF containing embedded JavaScript, identified as malicious by ClamAV and triggering critical heuristics related to CVE-2007-5659. The JavaScript is obfuscated and likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload, as indicated by the presence of deobfuscated JavaScript files. The attack pattern involves exploiting a known PDF vulnerability to achieve code execution.
Heuristics 6
-
Collab.collectEmailInfo — CVE-2007-5659 critical CVE exact CVE_2007_5659PDF 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)
-
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35903 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35903
-
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPTPDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JSPDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
syncAnnotScan annotation-staging primitive low PDF_FOXIT_SYNCANNOTSCANPDF JavaScript calls syncAnnotScan() — a no-op annotation-enumeration primitive used by exploit-kit JavaScript to stage payload reads from annotation /Subject fields before eval(). Not a vulnerable sink itself; rarely seen in legitimate PDFs. (matched in decompressed stream)
-
