MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample contains heuristics indicating the use of PowerShell and a command-line execution pattern that suggests downloading content. The embedded URL, although marked as benign, is likely part of the download mechanism. The document body is heavily obfuscated and truncated, preventing a more detailed analysis of its specific lure.

Heuristics 3

  • Reference to PowerShell high SC_STR_POWERSHELL
    Reference to PowerShell
  • LOLBin token sequence in document text high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND
    Extracted document text contains a Windows script/execution tool name (PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, regsvr32, …) within 220 characters of a dangerous flag, command verb, or URL. This is a visible 'run this' instruction in HTML/PDF/RTF lure bodies, or — in macro-laden Office files — the macro's own string-pool entries appearing adjacent in extracted text.
  • 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.
