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

The file is a malicious Office document containing VBA macros that are configured to auto-execute using the AutoOpen function. ClamAV identified the file as a downloader, and the presence of VBA macros suggests it is designed to fetch and execute a secondary payload. The document's structure and the heuristic firings strongly indicate a spearphishing attachment attack vector.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.87f88707f007f878-OOXML-9981544-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.87f88707f007f878-OOXML-9981544-0
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium 1 related finding OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present
  • 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.
  • 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.
