MITRE ATT&CK
T1204 Malicious Link T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter

The sample leverages CVE-2017-0199, a known vulnerability related to OOXML OLE2Link remote loading. This indicates the document is designed to fetch and execute content from an external URL, specifically 'https://huskidkifklaoksikfkfijsju.blogspot.com/atom.xml'. The presence of an external OLE object further supports this attack vector, suggesting a downloader mechanism.

Heuristics 3

  • OOXML OLE2Link remote loader — CVE-2017-0199 related high CVE related CVE_2017_0199_RELATED
    Document contains an o:OLEObject Type=Link whose external oleObject relationship points to a remote URL. This is the OOXML OLE2Link activation shape associated with CVE-2017-0199 delivery, but the local file does not expose URL Moniker bytes or a weaponized extension/content type, so the exact CVE cannot be proven statically.
  • External OLE object relationship high OOXML_EXTERNAL_OLE_OBJECT
    Document contains an oleObject relationship whose target is an external HTTP(S) URL. Office resolves this through OLE/object update paths rather than as a normal user-clicked hyperlink.
  • 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.
