MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The sample is an OOXML document that contains an external OLE object pointing to a remote executable. This indicates an attempt to exploit CVE-2017-0199 to download and execute a payload from the URL http://auto-litva.com/dean/isu/New PO.exe. The document body itself does not contain user-facing text, but the heuristics strongly suggest a malicious intent to execute external code.

Heuristics 3

  • OOXML OLE2Link remote loader — CVE-2017-0199 related high CVE related CVE_2017_0199_RELATED
    Document contains an o:OLEObject Type=Link whose external oleObject relationship points to a remote URL. This is the OOXML OLE2Link activation shape associated with CVE-2017-0199 delivery, but the local file does not expose URL Moniker bytes or a weaponized extension/content type, so the exact CVE cannot be proven statically.
  • External OLE object relationship high OOXML_EXTERNAL_OLE_OBJECT
    Document contains an oleObject relationship whose target is an external HTTP(S) URL. Office resolves this through OLE/object update paths rather than as a normal user-clicked hyperlink.
  • 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.
