MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information T1140 Deobfuscate/Decode Files or Information

The file is identified as malicious due to the presence of an embedded OLE object that is designed to drop an executable payload, as indicated by the 'OFFICE_PACKAGE_RISKY_FILE' and 'EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE' heuristics. ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature, classifying it as 'Img.Dropper.PhishingLure-6329864-0'. The embedded object and its payload suggest a phishing or malware delivery attempt.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Img.Dropper.PhishingLure-6329864-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Img.Dropper.PhishingLure-6329864-0
  • 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.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • 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.
