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

The sample contains a VBA project with an AutoOpen macro, indicating malicious intent. ClamAV signatures confirm it as a dropper. The VBA script attempts to create a directory and execute a process, likely to download and run a secondary payload. The presence of the AutoOpen macro and the dropper functionality strongly suggests it is delivered as a spearphishing attachment.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Dropper.Valyria-9768469-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Dropper.Valyria-9768469-0
  • 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
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • 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.
