T1204.002 Malicious File
T1059.005 Visual Basic
The sample is an Excel file that leverages the CVE-2017-0199 vulnerability. This vulnerability allows the file to act as a remote loader, fetching and executing a secondary payload from the embedded URL. The VBA project itself contains no executable statements, indicating the exploit relies solely on the OLE object's ability to fetch external content. The primary IOC is the malicious URL used for payload delivery.
Heuristics 3
-
OLE2Link / URL Moniker → remote loader — CVE-2017-0199 critical CVE likely CVE_2017_0199Document 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.

VBA project contains no executable statements low OLE_VBA_MACROSDocument contains a VBA project, but extracted modules only contain attributes/options/comments and no executable statements.
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL http://yyyyyYYYYUUSUUUUUUU3243242UUU23U423U4UU2UWWWWW8W8W7W8WWWWWWW878W8W8WW78WWWW87W87W88WEEW787888W88W8W@167.114.163.232/91.................................doc
