MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The file contains critical and high severity heuristics indicating the presence of external OLE and MSHTML objects. These objects point to a remote URL, http://i876edw4e5f6tg78hy9tg7r6ftgiy8.erlivia.ltd/black.hta, which is likely intended to be downloaded and executed. This suggests the file acts as a dropper for a secondary payload.

Heuristics 3

  • MSHTML-style external object relationship critical CVE related OFFICE_MSHTML_EXTERNAL_OBJECT
    External relationship to http://i876edw4e5f6tg78hy9tg7r6ftgiy8.erlivia.ltd/black.hta — exploitable MSHTML/CAB/MHTML/HTA-style Office attack surface
  • External OLE object relationship high OOXML_EXTERNAL_OLE_OBJECT
    Document contains an oleObject relationship whose target is an external HTTP(S) URL. Office resolves this through OLE/object update paths rather than as a normal user-clicked hyperlink.
  • 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.
