MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
The file is a password-encrypted OOXML document identified by ClamAV as Doc.Downloader.Formbook. The presence of an Equation Editor OLE object and the 'OFFICE_ENCRYPTED_EXPLOIT_CARRIER_SHAPE' heuristic indicate it's designed to exploit a vulnerability for initial execution. The encryption and malformed structure suggest an attempt to evade static analysis, typical of downloader malware.
Heuristics 6
-
Equation Editor OLE object high OLE_EQUATION_EDITORDefault-encrypted OOXML embedded OLE object xl/embeddings/oleObject1.bin contains the Equation Editor CLSID, the legacy component exploited by CVE-2017-11882, CVE-2018-0802, and CVE-2018-0798.
-
Encrypted Office package with CFB FAT corruption critical OLE_ENCRYPTED_AND_MALFORMEDEncrypted-package shape co-occurs with FAT-chain corruption — the documented combined evasion form.
-
ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.Formbook-bc97c1e0c33c3c93-9951465-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Formbook-bc97c1e0c33c3c93-9951465-0
-
Default-encrypted OOXML exploit carrier layout high OOXML_ENCRYPTED_EXPLOIT_CARRIER_SHAPEDefault-password encrypted OOXML package contains embedded OLE object parts and additional activation/decoy parts. This layout is common in malicious Excel exploit delivery and requires inspecting the decrypted package.
-
Office document is password-encrypted medium OFFICE_ENCRYPTED_PACKAGEOLE container holds MS-OFFCRYPTO encrypted package (Standard Encryption (Office 2007, AES)).
-
Office OOXML encrypted with default VelvetSweatshop password medium OFFICE_DEFAULT_PASSWORD_ENCRYPTED_OOXMLOLE EncryptedPackage decrypts with Excel's built-in VelvetSweatshop password. Office opens this transparently, and malware uses it to hide OOXML exploit parts from scanners that only inspect the outer OLE container.
