MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, identified by the PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS heuristics. The critical CVE_2007_5659 heuristic indicates the exploitation of a known vulnerability related to JavaScript execution within PDF documents. The presence of deobfuscated JavaScript files (legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js, legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js) suggests that the script is designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature.

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
