The sample is a malicious Office document containing VBA macros. The 'autoopen' subroutine triggers the execution of a shell command via the Shell() function. This command appears to be constructing a path to write a file to 'c:\programdata\vbaquerycount.h', likely a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection name and heuristic firings strongly suggest the Ursnif family.

Heuristics 6

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.Ursnif06210-9875010-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Ursnif06210-9875010-0
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
    Compiled VBA/cache stream contains an auto-execution token together with shell/download/object-execution tokens. This catches p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where visible source is unavailable.
  • 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.
