T1204.001 Malicious Link/Object
This PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that leverages CVE-2007-5659 (Collab.collectEmailInfo) to execute a stager. The stager is designed to decode and evaluate JavaScript, as indicated by the 'eval stager' heuristic and the presence of deobfuscated JavaScript files. The primary function appears to be downloading and executing a secondary payload, typical of exploit kits.
Heuristics 6
-
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)
-
Annotation subject percent-decoding eval stager critical PDF_ANNOT_SUBJECT_MARKER_EVAL_STAGEROpenAction 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.
