The critical ClamAV detection and high-severity heuristics for OLE_VBA_MACROS, OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN, and OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC indicate the presence of a malicious VBA macro designed to execute automatically when the document is opened. The GetObject call within the Document_Open macro is a common technique for initiating malicious actions, such as downloading and executing further stages. The document body content is heavily obfuscated and appears to be junk data, suggesting the primary malicious functionality resides within the VBA macros.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10034158-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10034158-0
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • 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.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • 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.
