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

The OOXML file contains an embedded OLE object which is identified as a risky file type. This object, named 'putty.exe', is designed to be auto-executable, indicating a likely attempt to deliver a malicious payload to the user. The presence of an embedded executable strongly suggests a malicious intent, likely delivered via spearphishing.

Heuristics 2

  • 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
