T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that leverages the CVE-2007-5659 vulnerability, specifically using the Collab.collectEmailInfo method. This JavaScript is further obfuscated and split into multiple files, indicating an attempt to conceal its malicious actions.
