MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that leverages the CVE-2007-5659 vulnerability. The heuristics indicate that this JavaScript is used to launch further malicious activity, likely downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The presence of deobfuscated JavaScript files named 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js' and 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js' further supports this, suggesting a multi-stage attack. ClamAV also identified this as Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36065.
