T1204.002 Malicious File
T1059.005 Visual Basic
The sample is an OLE file that exploits CVE-2017-0199 via a URL moniker to load a remote resource. The embedded URL 'http://urlty.co/byPCO' is highly suspicious and likely serves as a loader for a second-stage payload. Although the VBA project contains no executable statements, the critical heuristic firing indicates the exploit mechanism is present.
Heuristics 3
-
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.

VBA project contains no executable statements low OLE_VBA_MACROSDocument contains a VBA project, but extracted modules only contain attributes/options/comments and no executable statements.
-
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://urlty.co/byPCOC�������F|g��
