MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell

The sample is a malicious Office document containing a VBA macro with an AutoOpen function and a Shell() call. This indicates the macro is designed to execute automatically upon opening and run arbitrary commands. The ClamAV signature 'Doc.Downloader.Ursnif06210-9875010-0' suggests it functions as a downloader, likely for the Ursnif banking trojan. No specific URLs or hashes were extracted, but the technique is clear.

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.
