MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample contains VBA macros, including an AutoOpen subroutine, which is a common technique for malicious documents. The script attempts to save the document with a name derived from its keywords and then execute a command that appears to be a downloader or dropper. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader.EmotetUpdate122100-9914334-1' strongly suggests a downloader family, likely Emotet.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.EmotetUpdate122100-9914334-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.EmotetUpdate122100-9914334-1
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • 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.
