MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 JavaScript/Shell Scripting: JavaScript T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File: Malicious JavaScript

The PDF contains obfuscated JavaScript, identified by multiple high-severity heuristics. This script utilizes an unescape function and a getURL redirector to point to the URL 'http://searchglobalsite.com/in.cgi?11'. The embedded JavaScript streams, 'javascript_obj0020_000.js' and 'javascript_obj0020_001.js', are likely responsible for this redirection, indicating a malicious intent to lead the user to a potentially harmful site.

Heuristics 5

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.
