MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.007 JavaScript T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The PDF contains obfuscated JavaScript that utilizes the unescape function to construct a URL. This script then calls getURL to redirect the user to 'http://searchglobalsite.com/in.cgi?11'. This behavior is indicative of a malicious document designed to lure users to a compromised site, likely for further exploitation or credential harvesting.

Heuristics 7

PDF JavaScript exploit cluster critical PDF_JS_EXPLOIT_CLUSTER

PDF combines an executable JavaScript/action surface with exploit staging indicators such as eval/unescape/fromCharCode, XFA script content, or a related CVE pattern. Benign form JavaScript remains low-severity, but this correlated cluster is high-confidence malicious behavior.
unescape() call high PDF_UNESCAPE

unescape() found — often used to decode shellcode in PDF JS exploits
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.

URL http://searchglobalsite.com/in.cgi?11
