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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that leverages the CVE-2007-5659 vulnerability, specifically targeting the Collab.collectEmailInfo function. This exploit is designed to execute arbitrary JavaScript, which is then used to deobfuscate and execute further stages of malicious code. The presence of multiple deobfuscated JavaScript files suggests a multi-stage attack designed to download and execute a secondary payload.
