MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample contains VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon document opening. The critical heuristic OLE_VBA_DOWNLOAD indicates the macro attempts to use URLDownloadToFile, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature as a downloader. No specific document body content was provided to infer a social engineering lure, but the presence of macros and download functionality points to a typical downloader attack pattern.

  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.GreenBox6-9139694-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.GreenBox6-9139694-0
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains vbaProject.bin — VBA macros present
  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • 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.
