MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is an OLE document containing embedded URLs and a PE executable. Heuristics indicate the use of ShellExecute, URLDownloadToFile, LoadLibrary, and GetProcAddress, suggesting the document is designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The embedded executable, 'embedded_office_00003a70.exe', is flagged by ClamAV as Win.Trojan.Prorat-9, confirming its malicious nature. The document body itself contains references to these URLs and mentions AV-Fucker, indicating a potential social engineering lure.

Heuristics 11

  • OLE with Ole10Native — possible CVE-2026-21514 exploitation high CVE likely CVE_2026_21514
    Document contains a Word OLE object with Ole10Native plus executable, PE, or risky remote-link indicators. CVE-2026-21514 exploits OLE metadata validation; this stronger structure is treated as likely exploitation.
  • Reference to URLDownloadToFile API critical SC_STR_URLDOWNLOAD
    Reference to URLDownloadToFile API
  • XOR-encoded strings (key 0x55) critical SC_XOR_ENCODED
    Found 1 Windows library/API name(s) XOR-encoded with single-byte key 0x55: 'VirtualAlloc'
  • Embedded PE executable critical OLE_EMBEDDED_EXE
    MZ/PE header found inside document — possible embedded executable
  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Prorat-9 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Prorat-9
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • Reference to ShellExecute API high SC_STR_SHELLEXEC
    Reference to ShellExecute API
  • Reference to LoadLibrary API high SC_STR_LOADLIBRARY
    Reference to LoadLibrary API
  • Reference to GetProcAddress API high SC_STR_GETPROCADDRESS
    Reference to GetProcAddress API
  • 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.
