The critical heuristic firing for CVE-2024-21413 indicates the exploitation of a moniker link vulnerability in OOXML documents. The embedded UNC path, \\Bdccentrwbd2\Folders\!Минералка\Инвестиции%2099-01.xls, suggests an attempt to lure the user into accessing a remote resource disguised as a local file. Hidden worksheets were also detected, which can be used to conceal malicious content.
