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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. The critical CVE_2007_5659 heuristic specifically points to the use of Collab.collectEmailInfo to execute JavaScript, a known technique for exploiting PDF vulnerabilities. The presence of deobfuscated JavaScript files suggests the script's purpose is to download and execute further malicious content. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature.

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)
