MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, triggered by the 'collab.collectEmailInfo' function which is associated with CVE-2007-5659. This JavaScript is further deobfuscated into two separate files, 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js' and 'legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js'. The presence of these JavaScript streams and the specific exploit signature strongly suggest that the PDF is designed to download and execute a secondary malicious payload.

Heuristics 7

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

PDF JavaScript calls Collab.collectEmailInfo — CVE-2007-5659 is a buffer overflow in Adobe Reader triggered by a long argument or heap-sprayed message field passed to Collab.collectEmailInfo(). Part of a series of Acrobat JS API exploits. (identified after JavaScript deobfuscation)
Annotation subject percent-decoding eval stager critical PDF_ANNOT_SUBJECT_MARKER_EVAL_STAGER

OpenAction JavaScript forces annotation enumeration, reads an annotation /Subject payload with getAnnots(), rewrites marker bytes into percent escapes, decodes it with unescape(), and dispatches it through eval. This is a high-confidence exploit-kit staging pattern. It is intentionally not mapped to CVE-2009-1492 unless getAnnots() itself carries the crafted integer or long argument shape for that vulnerability.
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36065 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36065
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPT

PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS

PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
PDF differential parser failed info PDF_DIFFERENTIAL_PARSE_FAILED

The cross-check parser (pdfminer.six) failed on this file: PDF differential parser exited 1. Static heuristics still ran and any of their findings above are valid; only the differential cross-check signal is missing.
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE

One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
