MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is a malicious OOXML document containing VBA macros. The AutoOpen macro and the use of Shell() and WScript.Shell indicate that the document is designed to execute arbitrary code. This code likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload, as suggested by the critical heuristic firings. No specific family could be identified.

Heuristics 7

Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL

Shell() call in VBA
WScript.Shell usage critical OLE_VBA_WSCRIPT

WScript.Shell usage
AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN

AutoOpen macro
CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ

CreateObject 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.
