MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The presence of a high-severity heuristic for PowerShell execution and a matched LOLBin command sequence indicates the document is designed to run malicious code. The embedded PowerShell command likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload from the specified URL, which is a common technique for initial access and further infection.

Heuristics 3

  • Reference to PowerShell high SC_STR_POWERSHELL
    Reference to PowerShell
  • LOLBin token sequence in document text high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND
    Extracted document text contains a Windows script/execution tool name (PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, regsvr32, …) within 220 characters of a dangerous flag, command verb, or URL. This is a visible 'run this' instruction in HTML/PDF/RTF lure bodies, or — in macro-laden Office files — the macro's own string-pool entries appearing adjacent in extracted text.
  • 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.
