MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell

This document contains VBA macros, as indicated by the OLE_VBA_MACROS heuristic. The critical OLE_VBA_SHELL heuristic confirms that these macros attempt to execute arbitrary commands using the Shell() function. The CLAMAV_DETECTION heuristic further classifies this file as malware (Doc.Trojan.Marker-31). The presence of the macros.bas file and the use of Shell() suggest a downloader or dropper functionality, though the specific payload is not discernible from the provided evidence. The embedded URLs were confirmed as benign and do not appear to be directly related to the malicious functionality.

Heuristics 5

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Marker-31 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Marker-31
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE

  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
