MITRE ATT&CK
T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter T1204.002 Malicious File T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The HWP document contains embedded PostScript, identified by the HWP_POSTSCRIPT and HWP_PS_FILE heuristics. This PostScript is capable of file operations, indicating a likely dropper or exploit delivery mechanism. ClamAV detections on both the primary file and an extracted artifact (Win.Trojan.Dropper-9787492-1) confirm its malicious nature. The primary SHA256 hash is included as an IOC.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Dropper-9787492-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Dropper-9787492-1
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • Embedded PostScript / EPS high HWP_POSTSCRIPT
    HWP contains embedded PostScript/EPS — a common exploit surface in targeted HWP campaigns
  • PostScript file operation high HWP_PS_FILE
    PostScript file operation found (file/run/deletefile)
  • Decompressed OLE-wrapped HWP streams info HWP_COMPRESSED
    Inflated 188086 bytes from BinData / Scripts / BodyText / DocInfo streams of the OLE-wrapped HWP for content analysis
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.

Extracted artifacts 7

Files carved from inside the sample during analysis.
