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

The sample is an Office document containing an embedded OLE object. This object is identified as a risky file package that drops an auto-executable payload named 'FRCR registration unlocker.exe'. The document body text also references this unlocker, suggesting a lure to trick the user into interacting with the embedded malicious executable.

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
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.

Extracted artifacts 3

Files carved from inside the sample during analysis.
