MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.001 Malicious Link T1071.001 Web Protocols

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that exploits CVE-2007-5659 via the Collab.collectEmailInfo sink. Static analysis recovered two deobfuscated JavaScript files, legacy_pdfkit_stage_000.js and legacy_pdfkit_stage_001.js, indicating a multi-stage download and execution process. The primary exploit targets a known vulnerability in older versions of Adobe Reader, suggesting the intent is to compromise the user's system.

Heuristics 6

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)
ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35903 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-35903
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.
syncAnnotScan annotation-staging primitive low PDF_FOXIT_SYNCANNOTSCAN

PDF JavaScript calls syncAnnotScan() — a no-op annotation-enumeration primitive used by exploit-kit JavaScript to stage payload reads from annotation /Subject fields before eval(). Not a vulnerable sink itself; rarely seen in legitimate PDFs. (matched in decompressed stream)
