T1204 Malicious File
T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter
The sample is a malicious OOXML document that leverages CVE-2017-0199 to load an external OLE object. This object contains a VBA macro that attempts to download a second-stage payload from the provided mediafire URLs. The embedded OLE object and its associated macro are strong indicators of a downloader or initial access mechanism.
Heuristics 6
-
OOXML OLE2Link remote loader — CVE-2017-0199 related high CVE_2017_0199_RELATEDDocument contains an o:OLEObject Type=Link whose external oleObject relationship points to a remote URL. This is the OOXML OLE2Link activation shape associated with CVE-2017-0199 delivery, but the local file does not expose URL Moniker bytes or a weaponized extension/content type, so the exact CVE cannot be proven statically.
-
Embedded Office object carries macros critical OFFICE_EMBEDDED_MACRO_OBJECTThis document embeds a second Office file that itself contains a VBA macro project or an Excel 4.0 (XLM) macro sheet. Hiding a macro-bearing workbook or document inside another document — frequently under an obfuscated, non-standard part name — is a macro-smuggling technique that defeats scanners which only inspect the outer document's macro storage. No benign authoring workflow stages a hidden macro project this way.
-
External OLE object relationship high OOXML_EXTERNAL_OLE_OBJECTDocument contains an oleObject relationship whose target is an external HTTP(S) URL. Office resolves this through OLE/object update paths rather than as a normal user-clicked hyperlink.
-
Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne 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.
-
Embedded OLE object medium OOXML_OLE_OBJECTDocument contains an embedded OLE object
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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 https://www.mediafire.com/file/tli8d8xqvx6z0zz/update.doc/file
