MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 User Execution: Malicious File
T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter
T1203 // a bit too generic, maybe T1203 if it is an exploit? No, T1203 is exploit for client application. Let's check. Yes, T1
The sample is a default-encrypted OOXML file containing embedded OLE objects with the Equation Editor CLSID, which is characteristic of CVE-2017-11882 exploits. The presence of a high-entropy Ole10Native stream with malformed sizing within the Equation object strongly indicates a payload delivery mechanism via this exploit. No scripts were extracted from this sample, but the exploit payload is binary data within thes OLE object.
Heuristics 4
-
Equation Editor OLE object high OLE_EQUATION_EDITORDefault-encrypted OOXML embedded OLE object xl/embeddings/oleObject1.bin contains the Equation Editor CLSID, the legacy component exploited by CVE-2017-11882, CVE-2018-0802, and CVE-2018-0798.
-
Default-encrypted OOXML exploit carrier layout high OOXML_ENCRYPTED_EXPLOIT_CARRIER_SHAPEDefault-password encrypted OOXML package contains embedded OLE object parts and additional activation/decoy parts. This layout is common in malicious Excel exploit delivery and requires inspecting the decrypted package.
-
Equation Editor object carries payload-like Ole10Native stream high OLE_EQUATION_OLE10NATIVE_PAYLOAD_ANOMALYDefault-encrypted OOXML embedded OLE object declares the Equation Editor CLSID but stores a large high-entropy Ole10Native stream with malformed package sizing. This is exploit-shaped Equation/OLE payload evidence.
-
Office OOXML encrypted with default VelvetSweatshop password medium OFFICE_DEFAULT_PASSWORD_ENCRYPTED_OOXMLOLE EncryptedPackage decrypts with Excel's built-in VelvetSweatshop password. Office opens this transparently, and malware uses it to hide OOXML exploit parts from scanners that only inspect the outer OLE container.
