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

The sample is a DOCX file containing VBA macros, including a Document_Open auto-execution macro. Heuristics indicate the use of CreateObject, suggesting the macro is designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Dropper.EmotetiBlueUpdate1020' strongly suggests the family and its dropper functionality.

    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

  • 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.
