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 embedded JavaScript streams, particularly 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js' and 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js', are likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload, as suggested by the ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36064'.

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-36064 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
