MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample contains heuristics indicating it exploits CVE-2017-0199 via an external OLE object, attempting to load content from the URL https://529f38d0-3744-4286-b484-be860d475d25.usrfiles.com/ugd/529f38_ab5ac880c56841bca4889e2e53082ddf.docx. The document body contains what appears to be financial data, suggesting a lure related to payroll or financial transactions. No scripts were extracted, but the OLE object itself is the primary mechanism for exploitation.

Heuristics 5

  • OOXML OLE2Link remote loader — CVE-2017-0199 related high CVE related CVE_2017_0199_RELATED
    Document contains an o:OLEObject Type=Link whose external oleObject relationship points to a remote URL. This is the OOXML OLE2Link activation shape associated with CVE-2017-0199 delivery, but the local file does not expose URL Moniker bytes or a weaponized extension/content type, so the exact CVE cannot be proven statically.
  • External OLE object relationship high OOXML_EXTERNAL_OLE_OBJECT
    Document contains an oleObject relationship whose target is an external HTTP(S) URL. Office resolves this through OLE/object update paths rather than as a normal user-clicked hyperlink.
  • External relationship high OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in word/_rels/document.xml.rels: file:///E:\xlsx exploit\PayRoll-022722=031222fianl.xlsx
  • 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.
