MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution: Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that leverages the CVE-2007-5659 vulnerability, specifically targeting the Collab.collectEmailInfo function. The heuristics indicate that this JavaScript is likely used to deobfuscate and execute further stages, as evidenced by the extracted files 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js' and 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js'. This points to a multi-stage attack designed to download and run additional malicious code.

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-36062 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36062
  • 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.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
