MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF sample contains embedded JavaScript, identified by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. A critical heuristic, CVE_2007_5659, specifically indicates the use of the 'collab.collectEmailInfo' JavaScript function to exploit a known vulnerability. This function is used to concatenate information fields and evaluate the result, likely to download and execute a secondary payload. The presence of deobfuscated JavaScript files further supports this. The exact URLs or hashes of the second-stage payload were not directly extracted, leading to an 'unknown family' classification.

Heuristics 4

  • 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)
  • JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPT
    PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS
    PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
