MITRE ATT&CK
T1204.002 Malicious File Execution: Malicious File T1059.005 Command and Scripting Interpreter: Visual Basic

The critical heuristic firing for CVE_2017_0199 indicates the file is designed to exploit this vulnerability, likely to download and execute a secondary payload from the provided URL. The presence of VBA macros, though not directly executable in this sample, further supports a malicious intent. The ClamAV detection confirms its classification as malware, specifically a downloader.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
  • ClamAV: Xls.Downloader.Trojan-aa0b8f388d8573cd-aa0b8f388d8573cd-9950439-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Xls.Downloader.Trojan-aa0b8f388d8573cd-aa0b8f388d8573cd-9950439-0
  • VBA project contains no executable statements low OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains a VBA project, but extracted modules only contain attributes/options/comments and no executable statements.
  • 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.
