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

The sample is an Office document containing an embedded OLE object. This object is identified as a risky file that drops an auto-executable payload named 'payment receipt.pif'. ClamAV detections confirm the presence of malware, specifically 'Win.Trojan.Midie-9835307-0', on both the main file and the extracted artifact. The primary attack pattern involves tricking a user into opening the document, which then executes the embedded malicious file.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Midie-9835307-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Midie-9835307-0
  • 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 medium 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.
  • 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.
