MITRE ATT&CK

T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.001 PowerShell

The critical heuristic firing indicates the exploitation of CVE-2017-0199, which is a known vulnerability used to download and execute remote content. The embedded URL 'https://cebol.me/zsXf68?&' is likely the source of the secondary payload. The presence of embedded PDF streams and font data suggests a complex document structure designed to facilitate the exploit.

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.
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.

URL https://cebol.me/zsXf68?&
