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

The file is an OOXML document containing VBA macros, as indicated by the 'OOXML_VBA' and 'OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC' heuristics. The 'OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC' heuristic specifically points to an AutoOpen macro that executes code, suggesting the document is designed to download and run a secondary payload. ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature as a downloader. The lack of specific URLs or script content prevents further detailed analysis of the payload, hence the family is unknown.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.87f88707f007f878-OOXML-9981544-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.87f88707f007f878-OOXML-9981544-0
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium 1 related finding OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present
  • 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.
  • 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.
