MITRE ATT&CK
T1559.001 Component Object Model Hijacking
The OOXML file is encrypted with a default password and contains an embedded OLE object, indicating it's likely an exploit carrier. The presence of an embedded document suggests an attempt to deliver a secondary payload. Without further analysis of the embedded object, the exact attack pattern and family remain undetermined.
