MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is identified as malicious due to critical heuristic firings related to CVE-2017-0199 and CVE-2022-30190, indicating exploitation of known vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office. These heuristics point to an external OLE object relationship that attempts to load content from 'http://tigerdrill.xyz/EYWCET97LV2U.html'. This mechanism is commonly used to download and execute a second-stage payload, likely leading to further compromise.

Heuristics 7

  • CVE-2022-30190 — Follina stage-1 external HTML oleObject critical CVE likely CVE_2022_30190
    External OLEObject relationship targets a remote .html with the Follina delivery shape (oleObject -> HTTP(S) HTML with trailing Moniker '!'). In live Follina samples the ms-msdt: trigger is served by the remote HTML, not the document itself.
  • MSHTML-style external object relationship critical CVE related OFFICE_MSHTML_EXTERNAL_OBJECT
    External relationship to http://tigerdrill.xyz/EYWCET97LV2U.html!x-usc:http://tigerdrill.xyz/EYWCET97LV2U — exploitable MSHTML/CAB/MHTML/HTA-style Office attack surface
  • OOXML OLE2Link remote loader — CVE-2017-0199 related high CVE related CVE_2017_0199_RELATED
    Document 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.
  • ClamAV: Doc.Exploit.CVE-2021-40444-9891698-2 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Exploit.CVE-2021-40444-9891698-2
  • External OLE object relationship high OOXML_EXTERNAL_OLE_OBJECT
    Document 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.
  • External relationship medium OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in word/_rels/document.xml.rels: NULL
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One 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.
