MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is an OOXML document containing an embedded OLE object. This object is identified as an 'Ole10Native package' that drops an auto-executable payload, specifically the EICAR test file. The presence of the EICAR test file and the mechanism of dropping an executable strongly indicate a malicious intent to deliver a payload.

Heuristics 3

  • ClamAV: Eicar-Test-Signature critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Eicar-Test-Signature
  • Ole10Native package drops an auto-executable payload critical OFFICE_PACKAGE_RISKY_FILE
    OLE Package displayName or fullPath ends in a directly auto-executable extension (a runnable binary or a script the default shell host runs on double-click). Embedding such a payload inside an Office document has no benign authoring use — it is a malware-delivery dropper.
  • Embedded OLE object medium OOXML_OLE_OBJECT
    Document contains an embedded OLE object
