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

The sample is an OOXML document containing VBA macros, including a Document_Open macro. The script exhibits self-replication behavior by modifying its own VBA code and includes a poly-encryption engine. This suggests the document is designed to download and execute a secondary payload, characteristic of a macro-based malware dropper.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Antisocial-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Antisocial-1
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium 2 related findings OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present
  • VBA macro-virus self-replication / AV tampering critical OLE_VBA_MACRO_VIRUS_REPLICATION
    VBA macro programmatically rewrites VBA project code through the VBE object model (CodeModule/VBComponents InsertLines/DeleteLines/AddFromString or OrganizerCopy) to copy itself into the global template and other open documents, and/or disables Office macro-virus protection (Options.VirusProtection = False). This is the defining behavior of the W97M document macro-virus family — self-replicating code with no benign document use, independent of any AV signature.
