T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
T1059.005 Visual Basic
The critical heuristic firing indicates exploitation of CVE-2017-0199 via an OLE2Link object, which attempts to load a remote resource from the URL https://ccurl.xyz/rthn. Although the VBA project contains no executable statements, the presence of the OLE object and the embedded URL strongly suggest this file is a downloader for a secondary stage payload. The file is an Excel spreadsheet, and the presence of VBA code, even if non-executable, points to the Visual Basic scripting technique.
Heuristics 3
-
OLE2Link / URL Moniker → remote loader — CVE-2017-0199 critical CVE likely CVE_2017_0199Document contains an embedded OLE link object whose URL Moniker points to a remote URL. When the host file is opened, Office follows the link, downloads the URL, and processes the response based on its Content-Type (HTA -> mshta.exe, RTF → Word, etc.) — the documented CVE-2017-0199 primitive. The URL extension is not a reliable filter; servers can return different payloads to Office's user agent.

VBA project contains no executable statements low OLE_VBA_MACROSDocument contains a VBA project, but extracted modules only contain attributes/options/comments and no executable statements.
-
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://ccurl.xyz/rthn
