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

The sample is an Office document containing an embedded OLE object, identified as a risky file type that drops an auto-executable payload. This strongly suggests the document is designed to trick the user into opening it, leading to the execution of a secondary malicious file. The specific payload dropped is not detailed, but the presence of the OLE object is a critical indicator of malicious intent.

Heuristics 3

  • Ole10Native package drops an auto-executable payload critical OFFICE_PACKAGE_RISKY_FILE
    OLE Package displayName or fullPath ends in a directly auto-executable extension (a runnable binary or a script the default shell host runs on double-click). Embedding such a payload inside an Office document has no benign authoring use — it is a malware-delivery dropper.
  • Embedded OLE object medium OOXML_OLE_OBJECT
    Document contains an embedded OLE object
  • 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.
