MITRE ATT&CK

T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.005 Visual Basic

The critical heuristic firing for CVE-2017-0199 indicates that the OLE2Link object is being used to load a remote resource. The extracted URL, 'https://wegivebestthingswithbetterfuturenowarnupthingstodowithbestpeoples.busienss@links.dansarindustries.com/xAlUEj', is likely the location of the second-stage payload. Although VBA macros were detected, they contained no executable statements, suggesting the exploit is directly embedded within the OLE structure.

Heuristics 3

OLE2Link / URL Moniker → remote loader — CVE-2017-0199 critical CVE likely CVE_2017_0199

Document 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.
NOP-equivalent sled detected medium SC_NOP_EQUIV_SLED

Long run of 0x61 bytes
VBA project contains no executable statements low OLE_VBA_MACROS

Document contains a VBA project, but extracted modules only contain attributes/options/comments and no executable statements.
