MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution

The sample contains a critical DDE heuristic firing indicating a malicious command. This command executes PowerShell, which downloads a second-stage payload from the URL http://pdj.co.id/hjergf76 and then executes it. This indicates a downloader or droppper functionality.

Heuristics 3

  • Malicious DDE command critical OOXML_DDE_MALICIOUS
    DDE field in word/document.xml launches a dangerous executable: \\System32\\
  • LOLBin token sequence in document text high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND
    Extracted document text contains a Windows script/execution tool name (PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, regsvr32, …) within 220 characters of a dangerous flag, command verb, or URL. This is a visible 'run this' instruction in HTML/PDF/RTF lure bodies, or — in macro-laden Office files — the macro's own string-pool entries appearing adjacent in extracted text.
  • 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.
