MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that is obfuscated and utilizes the unescape function. Heuristics indicate exploitation of CVE-2007-5659 via the Collab.collectEmailInfo method, a known technique for executing arbitrary code within PDF documents. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload, as suggested by the ClamAV detection signature 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35905'.

Heuristics 6

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-35905 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35905
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE

unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits (matched inside decoded stream)
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPT

PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS

PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
