MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.007 JavaScript T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains obfuscated JavaScript that utilizes the getURL function to redirect the user to 'http://globalsearchings.com/in.cgi?18'. This behavior, combined with ML classifier and heuristic firings indicating obfuscated JavaScript and malicious intent, strongly suggests the document is designed to lure the user to a malicious site. The primary purpose of this redirection is likely to initiate a download of a second-stage malware.

Heuristics 5

  • Obfuscated document JavaScript getURL redirector high PDF_JS_OBFUSCATED_GETURL_REDIRECTOR
    PDF document-level JavaScript automatically calls getURL() on an HTTP(S) destination hidden behind percent escapes. The decoded path is a redirector-style endpoint such as /in.cgi or /go.php. This is malicious routing behavior rather than a PDF parser CVE.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium 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.
  • 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.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
