MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1059.001 PowerShell

The sample contains a critical DDE command that leverages PowerShell to execute arbitrary commands. This is further supported by a high-severity heuristic indicating a LOLBin token sequence in the document text, specifically matching 'PowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe'. ClamAV also detected this as a known downloader variant. The DDE command likely attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Win.Downloader.DDEObfuscatedCmdExec-6715128-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Downloader.DDEObfuscatedCmdExec-6715128-0
  • Malicious DDE command critical OOXML_DDE_MALICIOUS
    DDE field in word/document.xml launches a dangerous executable: \\Microsoft\\Office\\MSWord.exe\\..\\..\\..\\..\\windows\\sy
  • 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.
