MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1218.011 Signed Binary Proxy Execution: Rundll32 T1059.001 PowerShell

The document contains high-severity heuristics indicating it attempts to trick the user into executing commands via the clipboard and visible LOLBin instructions. The document body, while discussing CVE-2021-44228, also contains a 'TOTAL DISCLAIMER & LEGAL NOTICE' that warns against illicit use and mentions 'verbatim exploit code and Remote Code Execution (RCE) methodologies', suggesting the document itself is a lure for executing malicious commands. The presence of external hyperlinks, though benign in reputation, further supports the document's role as a delivery mechanism.

Heuristics 4

  • Clipboard command execution lure high SE_CLIPBOARD_COMMAND_LURE
    Document tells the user to copy or paste clipboard content into Run, PowerShell, cmd, or another shell-like execution context
  • Visible LOLBin command execution instruction high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND
    Document contains instructions or visible command text involving Windows script/execution tools such as PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, or regsvr32
  • External hyperlinks (57) low OOXML_EXTERNAL_HYPERLINKS
    Document contains 57 external hyperlinks — clickable URLs are stored as external relationships. First target: https://www.ibm.com/id-id/think/topics/log4shell
  • 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.
