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

The OOXML document contains a VBA project, indicated by the 'OOXML_VBA' heuristic. The 'EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE' heuristic further suggests that the VBA macros are auto-executing and potentially malicious. While no specific URLs or scripts were detailed, the presence of VBA macros strongly suggests an attempt to download and execute a secondary payload.

Heuristics 3

  • 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.
