MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The sample is a malicious OOXML document containing VBA macros. The AutoOpen macro utilizes WScript.Shell and the Shell() function to execute arbitrary commands, likely downloading and running a second-stage payload. The presence of an external relationship pointing to a local file path suggests a potential attempt to disguise or load malicious content.

Heuristics 9

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • WScript.Shell usage critical OLE_VBA_WSCRIPT
    WScript.Shell usage
  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.SVCReady-8f5af0a5f0da7070-9951542-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.SVCReady-8f5af0a5f0da7070-9951542-0
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • External relationship high OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in word/_rels/document.xml.rels: file:///C:\Users\admin\Desktop\build\msxml\rels\builds\pack1\us.jpg
  • 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.
