MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell 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 PDF vulnerability using JavaScript. The presence of deobfuscated JavaScript files suggests the script is designed to perform malicious actions, likely downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection further supports the malicious nature of the file.

Heuristics 5

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