MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution
T1071.001 Web Protocols: Web Protocols
The sample is a password-protected Office document that leverages the CVE-2017-0199 vulnerability. This vulnerability allows the document to act as a remote loader, fetching and executing a payload from the embedded URL http://jmcglone.com@slinker.me/bX. The use of a default password for encryption further indicates a common exploit carrier pattern.
Heuristics 5
-
OLE2Link / URL Moniker → remote loader — CVE-2017-0199 critical CVE likely CVE_2017_0199Document contains an embedded OLE link object whose URL Moniker points to a remote URL. When the host file is opened, Office follows the link, downloads the URL, and processes the response based on its Content-Type (HTA -> mshta.exe, RTF → Word, etc.) — the documented CVE-2017-0199 primitive. The URL extension is not a reliable filter; servers can return different payloads to Office's user agent.
-
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 document is password-encrypted medium OFFICE_ENCRYPTED_PACKAGEOLE container holds MS-OFFCRYPTO encrypted package (Standard Encryption (Office 2007, AES)).
-
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.
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL http://jmcglone.com@slinker.me/bX
