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

The file is a PDF containing embedded JavaScript, identified by multiple heuristics including 'PDF_JAVASCRIPT' and 'PDF_JS'. The critical heuristic 'CVE_2007_5659' indicates the use of a known exploit targeting the 'collab.collectEmailInfo' function, which is used to execute JavaScript. The deobfuscated JavaScript files suggest the execution of a malicious script, likely for downloading and executing a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature.
