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

The sample is an Excel file containing a Workbook_Open VBA macro, which is a common technique for initiating malicious activity upon opening. The macro uses GetObject and references Windows Script Host, indicating it likely attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload from one of the embedded URLs. The ClamAV detection explicitly identifies it as a Dridex dropper.

Heuristics 8

  • ClamAV: Doc.Dropper.Dridex-9845759-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Dropper.Dridex-9845759-0
  • Reference to Windows Script Host high SC_STR_WSCRIPT
    Reference to Windows Script Host
  • Workbook_Open macro high OLE_VBA_WBOPEN
    Workbook_Open macro
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject 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
  • Environ() call (env variable access) low OLE_VBA_ENVIRON
    Environ() call (env variable access)
  • 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.
