MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample contains a critical heuristic firing for a malicious DDE command that executes a PowerShell script. This script is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload from the URL 'http://hilaryandsavio.com/kjhuAT61'. The DDE command itself is also present in the document body, indicating a likely spearphishing attachment delivery method.

Heuristics 3

  • Malicious DDE command critical OOXML_DDE_MALICIOUS
    DDE field in word/document.xml launches a dangerous executable: \\System32\\
  • 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.
