MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File: User Execution T1059.005 PowerShell

The critical heuristic firing for CVE-2017-0199 indicates that the OLE file is designed to exploit a vulnerability in Microsoft Office to load remote content. The embedded URL, 'https://withmygreatnessbetterforbetterservicetogivemeniceworkingskillformelife.business@link.scogo.in/qEu2eu', is highly suspicious and likely serves as the download location for a secondary malicious payload. The presence of a NOP-equivalent sled further suggests shellcode execution.

Heuristics 3

  • OLE2Link / URL Moniker → remote loader — CVE-2017-0199 critical CVE likely CVE_2017_0199
    Document contains an embedded OLE link object whose URL Moniker points to a remote URL. When the host file is opened, Office follows the link, downloads the URL, and processes the response based on its Content-Type (HTA -> mshta.exe, RTF → Word, etc.) — the documented CVE-2017-0199 primitive. The URL extension is not a reliable filter; servers can return different payloads to Office's user agent.
