MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is a malicious OOXML document containing an embedded OLE object. This object is identified as a package payload that downloads and executes a script. The script is designed to drop and run an executable file named 'Software.exe', indicating a downloader or droppper functionality.

Heuristics 4

  • Ole10Native package payload is a download-and-execute script critical OFFICE_PACKAGE_SCRIPT_DROPPER
    The OLE Package's embedded payload contains a script that hosts a shell (PowerShell/WScript/mshta), fetches a remote resource, and executes it — a download-and-run dropper. Embedding such a script inside an Office document via the Object Packager is a direct user-execution delivery technique (MITRE T1204.002), not a benign attachment.
  • Ole10Native package drops an auto-executable payload critical OFFICE_PACKAGE_RISKY_FILE
    OLE Package displayName or fullPath ends in a directly auto-executable extension (a runnable binary or a script the default shell host runs on double-click). Embedding such a payload inside an Office document has no benign authoring use — it is a malware-delivery dropper.
  • Embedded OLE object medium OOXML_OLE_OBJECT
    Document contains an embedded OLE object
  • 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.
