MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1059.001 PowerShell

The sample contains a critical DDE AUTO command that executes cmd.exe, which in turn runs a PowerShell script. This script downloads a file from 'http://myip.dnsomatic.com/' to 'C:\Users\Тест\1.txt' and then attempts to execute 'C:\Users\Тест\putty.exe'. This indicates a downloader or dropper functionality.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Exploit.DDEautoexec-6361400-2 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Exploit.DDEautoexec-6361400-2
  • Malicious DDE command critical OOXML_DDE_MALICIOUS
    DDE field in word/document.xml launches a dangerous executable: \\system32\\cmd.exe
  • LOLBin token sequence in document text high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND
    Extracted document text contains a Windows script/execution tool name (PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, regsvr32, …) within 220 characters of a dangerous flag, command verb, or URL. This is a visible 'run this' instruction in HTML/PDF/RTF lure bodies, or — in macro-laden Office files — the macro's own string-pool entries appearing adjacent in extracted text.
  • 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.
