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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that exploits the CVE-2007-5659 vulnerability, specifically targeting the Collab.collectEmailInfo function. This exploit is designed to execute arbitrary JavaScript code, which is then used to deobfuscate and likely execute further stages from the extracted files legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js and legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js. The primary goal appears to be the download and execution of a malicious payload.

Heuristics 5

  • 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)
  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36062 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36062
  • JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPT
