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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. The critical CVE_2007_5659 firing suggests exploitation of a known PDF vulnerability using JavaScript. The presence of deobfuscated JavaScript files (legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js, legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js) and the ClamAV detection (Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36062) confirm malicious intent, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload.

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
