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

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, identified by multiple heuristics including PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. The critical CVE_2007_5659 heuristic indicates the exploitation of a known vulnerability using JavaScript to collect information and execute code. The presence of deobfuscated JavaScript files suggests the script is designed to download and execute further malicious content. The ClamAV detection further supports its malicious nature.

Heuristics 5

  • Collab.collectEmailInfo — CVE-2007-5659 critical CVE exact CVE_2007_5659
