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

The file is a malicious Office document containing a VBA macro, as indicated by multiple critical and high-severity heuristics. The presence of an AutoOpen macro and the extracted VBA script, which uses Windows API calls like CreateProcess, strongly suggest that the macro is designed to execute a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature. The primary IOCs are the extracted macro and VBA project files.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10015188-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10015188-0
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present
  • 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.
