MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, specifically identified as exploiting CVE-2007-5659 via the Collab.collectEmailInfo method. This JavaScript is further deobfuscated into two files, legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js and legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js. The ClamAV detection of 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36062' confirms its malicious nature. The primary attack pattern involves leveraging this PDF vulnerability to execute arbitrary 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
