MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript T1204.002 Malicious File

The critical heuristic 'CVE_2007_5659' indicates the exploitation of a known PDF vulnerability using embedded JavaScript. The file contains multiple JavaScript streams, with two deobfuscated as 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js' and 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js'. These scripts are likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload, as suggested by the 'unknown_exploit_score' and the ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36065'. The 'Collab.collectEmailInfo' function is a key indicator of this exploit.
