MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that leverages the CVE-2007-5659 vulnerability, specifically using the Collab.collectEmailInfo method. The heuristics indicate that this JavaScript is responsible for launching further malicious activity, likely involving the download and execution of a secondary payload. The presence of multiple deobfuscated JavaScript files further supports this. The ClamAV detection confirms the malicious nature of the file.

Heuristics 6

Collab.collectEmailInfo — CVE-2007-5659 critical CVE exact CVE_2007_5659
