The critical heuristic firing indicates exploitation of CVE-2017-0199 via an OLE2Link object pointing to a remote URL. This technique is commonly used to download and execute a second-stage payload. The extracted URL, http://jx.ax/Ld3, is the primary indicator for the remote loader.

Heuristics 1

  • 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.
