MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, specifically identified as a stager exploiting CVE-2007-5659 through the Collab.collectEmailInfo method. This JavaScript is heavily obfuscated but decodes into a significant payload. The primary attack vector is the exploitation of this known vulnerability within the PDF structure to deliver a secondary stage payload.

Annotation subject callee-key hex JavaScript stager high PDF_ANNOT_SUBJECT_CALLEE_HEX_STAGER

PDF JavaScript uses syncAnnotScan()/getAnnots() to read an indirect annotation /Subject stream, percent-decodes it through marker replacement, then uses a callee.toString()-derived key to decode and eval the final exploit stage.
