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

The sample is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Doc.Dropper.Agent-7003960-0. Heuristics indicate it exploits CVE-2017-8759 by leveraging an external OLE object that targets a free TLD. This suggests the document is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload from the identified URL.

Heuristics 5

  • OOXML OLE2Link remote document — CVE-2017-8759 related high CVE related CVE_2017_8759_RELATED
    Document contains an o:OLEObject Type=Link whose external oleObject relationship fetches a remote Office-looking document. That is the OOXML OLE2Link staging shape used by CVE-2017-8759 campaigns when the remote document/WSDL supplies the SOAP moniker payload; the local file alone does not contain the WSDL body needed for an exact match.
  • ClamAV: Doc.Dropper.Agent-7003960-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Dropper.Agent-7003960-0
  • OOXML external relationship targets a free/throwaway TLD high OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL_FREE_TLD
    Document has an external relationship whose target host is on a free, no-registration TLD (Freenom .ml/.ga/.cf/.gq/.tk). Legitimate business documents do not link out to a Freenom throwaway domain; these are a near-zero-FP phishing / BEC delivery tell (e.g. an RFQ/invoice lure pointing at 'shareddocuments.ml/RFQ'). The relationship may be a hyperlink, a remote template, or an external OLE object.
  • 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.
  • 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.
