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

The sample is a malicious Microsoft Office document containing an embedded OLE object that acts as a download-and-execute script. This script likely fetches and runs a second-stage payload from the URL http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings, as indicated by the 'OFFICE_PACKAGE_SCRIPT_DROPPER' and 'OFFICE_PACKAGE_RISKY_FILE' heuristics. ClamAV detection confirms this as Win.Trojan.Uztuby-9838199-0.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Uztuby-9838199-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Uztuby-9838199-0
  • Ole10Native package payload is a download-and-execute script critical OFFICE_PACKAGE_SCRIPT_DROPPER
    The OLE Package's embedded payload contains a script that hosts a shell (PowerShell/WScript/mshta), fetches a remote resource, and executes it — a download-and-run dropper. Embedding such a script inside an Office document via the Object Packager is a direct user-execution delivery technique (MITRE T1204.002), not a benign attachment.
  • 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
  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • 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.
