MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, specifically triggering the CVE-2007-5659 vulnerability via the Collab.collectEmailInfo method. This JavaScript is further deobfuscated into two files, legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js and legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js. The presence of these deobfuscated scripts and the critical heuristic firings strongly suggest that the PDF is designed to exploit this vulnerability to download and execute a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection further corroborates its malicious nature.
