The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that leverages the CVE-2007-5659 vulnerability through the Collab.collectEmailInfo method. This exploit is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. The obfuscated JavaScript and the use of eval() calls are indicative of a malicious dropper attempting to conceal its actions.
Heuristics 5
-
Collab.collectEmailInfo — CVE-2007-5659 critical CVE exact CVE_2007_5659PDF 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)
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution
