MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is a malicious Office document containing a VBA macro. The 'autoopen' macro marker and the presence of a large VBA macro (43093 bytes) indicate malicious intent. The macro code is heavily obfuscated, making it difficult to determine the exact payload, but it is designed to execute arbitrary code. The 'GetObject' call is also a common indicator of malicious activity in Office documents. The document body is largely unreadable binary data, providing no contextual clues.

Heuristics 6

  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 167,238 bytes but its declared streams total only 86,614 bytes — 80,624 bytes (48%) live in unallocated sector slack. This is the canonical hiding place for pre-macro-era Office exploit payloads (XOR-encoded shellcode reached via a parser pointer-corruption bug in the document structure).
  • VBA macros detected medium 2 related findings OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • Legacy WordBasic auto-exec macro marker medium OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_AUTOEXEC
    OLE Word document contains a legacy WordBasic auto-execution marker such as AutoOpen, but no modern VBA project was recovered and no stronger macro-virus family marker was present. This is analyst-facing evidence for old Word macro execution surface, not a downloader or parser-CVE attribution by itself.
  • 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.
