MITRE ATT&CK

T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.005 Visual Basic

The critical heuristic firing for CVE_2017_0199 indicates the exploitation of a known vulnerability in OLE2Link objects to fetch a remote resource. The embedded URL, https://provit.uk/dmkMA5?&fondue=jaded&melody=robust&doctor=periodic&clam=shaky&ash=accidental&waterbed, is the primary indicator of the secondary payload's origin. Although VBA macros were present, they contained no executable statements, suggesting the exploit relies on the OLE vulnerability rather than macro execution.

Heuristics 3

OLE2Link / URL Moniker → remote loader — CVE-2017-0199 critical CVE likely CVE_2017_0199

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.
