MITRE ATT&CK

T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is an OLE2Link file that exploits CVE-2017-0199, a known vulnerability for remote code execution. The heuristic explicitly identifies the exploit and the URL from which the payload is downloaded. The VBA project is present but contains no executable statements, indicating the exploit is likely embedded within the OLE structure itself rather than executed via macro code.

Heuristics 2

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.
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.
