MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is an OOXML document containing VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro that utilizes the Shell() function. This indicates an attempt to execute arbitrary code. ClamAV detection as 'Doc.Downloader.Ursnif06210-9875010-0' further supports its malicious nature as a downloader. No specific URLs or hashes were extracted that could be directly attributed to the payload, hence the IOC list is empty.

Heuristics 6

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.Ursnif06210-9875010-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Ursnif06210-9875010-0
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • 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 — 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.
