MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution T1059.005 PowerShell

The critical heuristic firing indicates exploitation of CVE-2017-0199 via an OLE2Link object, which attempts to load a remote resource from the URL https://acessaurl.com/UPJUflS?&https://www.cloudflare.com/application-services/products/waf. Although no VBA code was found to be executable, the presence of the OLE object and the embedded URL strongly suggest a malicious intent to download and execute a second-stage payload. The VBA project itself is empty, indicating the exploit is likely delivered through the OLE object's properties rather than active macro code.

Heuristics 3

  • OLE2Link / URL Moniker → remote loader — CVE-2017-0199 critical CVE likely CVE_2017_0199
    Document 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.
  • VBA project contains no executable statements low OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains a VBA project, but extracted modules only contain attributes/options/comments and no executable statements.
  • 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.
