MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.001 Malicious Link

The file contains an embedded Equation Editor OLE object, which is a known vector for exploiting vulnerabilities. The 'OLE_EQUATION_OLE10NATIVE_PAYLOAD_ANOMALY' heuristic indicates that this object carries a payload-like stream, suggesting it's designed to execute malicious code. The presence of external hyperlinks, including one to Reddit, further supports a social engineering or phishing attempt. The file's structure and heuristics strongly indicate it's a dropper or exploit document.

Heuristics 5

  • Equation Editor OLE object high CVE related OLE_EQUATION_EDITOR
    Embedded OLE object xl/embeddings/TTBdS.XocT contains the Equation Editor CLSID, the legacy component exploited by CVE-2017-11882, CVE-2018-0802, and CVE-2018-0798.
  • Equation Editor object carries payload-like Ole10Native stream high OLE_EQUATION_OLE10NATIVE_PAYLOAD_ANOMALY
    Embedded OLE object declares the Equation Editor CLSID but stores a large high-entropy Ole10Native stream with malformed package sizing. This is an exploit-shaped Equation/OLE payload container seen in malicious OOXML samples. It is not assigned to a specific CVE unless the MTEF/Equation Native primitive also matches.
  • Embedded OLE object medium OOXML_OLE_OBJECT
    Document contains an embedded OLE object
  • External hyperlinks (710) low OOXML_EXTERNAL_HYPERLINKS
    Document contains 710 external hyperlinks — clickable URLs are stored as external relationships. First target: https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin
  • 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.
