MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, identified by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. Specifically, the CVE-2007-5659 heuristic indicates the exploitation of a vulnerability using the Collab.collectEmailInfo method to execute JavaScript. The extracted JavaScript files, legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js and legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js, are likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as suggested by their size and the 'Suspicious extracted artifact' heuristic. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature.

Heuristics 5

Collab.collectEmailInfo — CVE-2007-5659 critical CVE exact CVE_2007_5659
