MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1137.006 Office Application Build

The presence of an embedded OLE object and heuristics indicating a password-protected archive lure suggest this document is designed to trick the user into opening a malicious payload. The embedded OLE object itself is a suspicious artifact, likely containing the next stage of the attack. The document's structure and heuristics point towards a common phishing or malware delivery technique.

Heuristics 4

  • Password-protected archive handoff high SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE
    Document gives password instructions for an archive or attachment — often used to keep payloads encrypted until after gateway scanning
  • 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.
