MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, which is triggered by the CVE-2007-5659 heuristic. This JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as indicated by the ClamAV detection name 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7328669-0' and the presence of deobfuscated JavaScript files. The attack pattern involves exploiting a PDF vulnerability to achieve code execution.

Heuristics 5
