MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is a Microsoft Word document containing a malicious VBA macro. The 'Document_Open' macro is configured to execute automatically upon opening the document, and it utilizes a Shell() call. This indicates the macro's intent is to download and execute a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.CoolDown-1' further supports its malicious nature. No specific family could be identified.

Heuristics 6

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.CoolDown-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.CoolDown-1
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • 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.
  • 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 macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
