MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The sample is an OOXML document containing an embedded OLE object that is flagged as a risky file type. This object is identified as a '.scr' file, which is an executable script. The document body prompts the user to click the embedded object, suggesting a social engineering lure to execute the dropped payload. ClamAV detections further confirm the malicious nature of the extracted artifact.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Ag-4254306-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Ag-4254306-1
  • 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
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info 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 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.
