MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1204.002 Malicious File T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The sample is a malicious Office document containing VBA macros. The 'Document_Open' macro is configured to execute a second-stage payload, identified as an embedded PE executable. This executable was further detected by ClamAV as 'Win.Packed.Midie-10008727-0'. The presence of WinExec, ShellExecute, VirtualAlloc, LoadLibrary, and GetProcAddress API calls within the macro code strongly suggests its role in loading and executing the embedded payload.

Heuristics 17

Office EPRINT stream contains EMF object high CVE related OLE_EPRINT_EMF_OBJECT

OLE ObjectPool contains an EPRINT stream with EMF data. This is rare in normal documents and is CVE-2007-3893/MS07-046-family evidence when paired with Office exploit payload anomalies, but the malformed EMF record is not proven by this rule alone.
OLE with Ole10Native — possible CVE-2026-21514 exploitation high CVE likely CVE_2026_21514

Document contains a Word OLE object with Ole10Native plus executable, PE, or risky remote-link indicators. CVE-2026-21514 exploits OLE metadata validation; this stronger structure is treated as likely exploitation.
Embedded PE executable critical OLE_EMBEDDED_EXE

MZ/PE header found inside document — possible embedded executable
ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.Jrat-6336393-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Jrat-6336393-1
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.

Reference to LoadLibrary API high SC_STR_LOADLIBRARY

Reference to GetProcAddress API high SC_STR_GETPROCADDRESS

Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN

Document_Open macro
CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ

CreateObject call
Ole10Native package carries executable/script file type high OFFICE_PACKAGE_RISKY_FILE

OLE Package displayName or fullPath ends in an executable or script-capable extension. Even without UI extension spoofing, embedding a runnable payload inside an Office document is a high-risk delivery pattern.
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.
Reference to VirtualAlloc API medium SC_STR_VIRTUALALLOC

Reference to VirtualAlloc API
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 — context-specific rules above attribute URLs they actually evaluated; this rule lists URLs that were present in the bytes but were not otherwise tied to a specific finding.
