MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The sample contains a malicious DDE command that leverages cmd.exe to execute a PowerShell command. This PowerShell command downloads a second-stage executable from the URL 'https://evil.com/33911732b67040d41edbd56e6762a8e0/5a45578512e857c5/ybvjgr/tttt-Copy.exe' and then executes it. The presence of the DDE command and the PowerShell execution strongly indicates a malicious intent to download and run a payload.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Exploit.DDEautoexec-6346603-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Exploit.DDEautoexec-6346603-1
  • Malicious DDE command critical OOXML_DDE_MALICIOUS
    DDE field in word/document.xml launches a dangerous executable: \\System32\\cmd.exe
  • Reference to PowerShell high SC_STR_POWERSHELL
    Reference to PowerShell
  • Clipboard command execution lure high SE_CLIPBOARD_COMMAND_LURE
    Document tells the user to copy or paste clipboard content into Run, PowerShell, cmd, or another shell-like execution context
  • LOLBin token sequence in document text high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND
    Extracted document text contains a Windows script/execution tool name (PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, regsvr32, …) within 220 characters of a dangerous flag, command verb, or URL. This is a visible 'run this' instruction in HTML/PDF/RTF lure bodies, or — in macro-laden Office files — the macro's own string-pool entries appearing adjacent in extracted text.
  • 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.
