T1204.002 Malicious File
T1059.005 Visual Basic
The sample is an Excel spreadsheet that exploits CVE-2017-0199 via an OLE2Link object to download a remote payload from the provided URL. Although no VBA code was directly executed, the presence of the OLE vulnerability and the embedded URL strongly indicate a malicious downloader. The URL itself appears to be a complex obfuscated string pointing to an IP address, likely serving the secondary stage.
Heuristics 3
-
OLE2Link / URL Moniker → remote loader — CVE-2017-0199 critical CVE likely CVE_2017_0199Document contains an embedded OLE link object whose URL Moniker points to a remote URL. When the host file is opened, Office follows the link, downloads the URL, and processes the response based on its Content-Type (HTA -> mshta.exe, RTF → Word, etc.) — the documented CVE-2017-0199 primitive. The URL extension is not a reliable filter; servers can return different payloads to Office's user agent.
