MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 JavaScript/JScript T1566.001 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF contains obfuscated JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics, which is designed to redirect the user to 'http://globalsearchings.com/in.cgi?18'. This behavior strongly suggests an attempt to lure the user to a malicious site, likely for phishing or to download a secondary payload. The ML classifier also indicates a high probability of maliciousness.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.

Extracted artifacts 4
