MITRE ATT&CK
T1559.001 Component Object Model Hijacking T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is a malicious Microsoft Office document containing an embedded PE executable. Heuristics indicate the presence of NOP sleds and a lure for clipboard command execution, suggesting an attempt to obfuscate or trick the user into running the embedded payload. The embedded executable, 'embedded_office_00006000.exe', is the primary indicator of malicious intent.

Heuristics 5

  • Embedded PE executable critical OLE_EMBEDDED_EXE
    MZ/PE header found inside document — possible embedded executable
  • NOP sled detected high SC_NOP_SLED
    Found 20+ consecutive 0x90 bytes
  • 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
  • NOP-equivalent sled detected medium SC_NOP_EQUIV_SLED
    Long run of 0x41 bytes
  • 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.
