MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The sample is a weaponized OLE document that leverages CVE-2017-0199 to download and execute a HTA file from the URL http://malikberry.com/ecllaatt.hta. This indicates an attempt to execute a secondary payload, likely for further system compromise.

Heuristics 2

  • OLE2Link / URL Moniker weaponized URL — CVE-2017-0199 critical CVE exact CVE_2017_0199_WEAPONIZED_URL
    Document 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.
  • 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.
