MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1137.006 Office Application Build
The OOXML file is encrypted with a default password, a common technique to hinder static analysis and disguise malicious content. Heuristics indicate the presence of an embedded OLE object, suggesting it acts as a carrier for a secondary exploit or payload. Without a document body or scripts, the exact nature of the attack is unclear, but the encryption and embedded object strongly point to a malicious delivery mechanism.
Heuristics 2
-
Default-encrypted OOXML exploit carrier layout high OOXML_ENCRYPTED_EXPLOIT_CARRIER_SHAPEDefault-password encrypted OOXML package contains embedded OLE object parts and additional activation/decoy parts. This layout is common in malicious Excel exploit delivery and requires inspecting the decrypted package.
-
Office OOXML encrypted with default VelvetSweatshop password medium OFFICE_DEFAULT_PASSWORD_ENCRYPTED_OOXMLOLE EncryptedPackage decrypts with Excel's built-in VelvetSweatshop password. Office opens this transparently, and malware uses it to hide OOXML exploit parts from scanners that only inspect the outer OLE container.
