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

The sample is a macro-enabled document (DOCM) detected by ClamAV as malware. The VBA script uses CreateObject and CallByName, common techniques for executing malicious code. The script's intent appears to be downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as indicated by the attempt to open a workbook and the use of `CreateObject` with potentially obfuscated parameters.

Heuristics 7

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10033904-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10033904-0
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • CallByName call high OLE_VBA_CALLBYNAME
    CallByName call
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high 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.
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains vbaProject.bin — VBA macros present
  • 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.
