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

The sample is a malicious Office document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro that executes obfuscated code. This code likely attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload, as indicated by the CreateObject heuristic and the ClamAV detection signature 'Doc.Malware.Emodldr'. The VBA code itself is heavily obfuscated, making it difficult to determine the exact payload or destination URL. The presence of a Document_Open macro and the nature of the detection suggest a spearphishing attachment attack vector.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Emodldr-10033990-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Emodldr-10033990-0
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open 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 macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • 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.
