MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is a malicious OOXML document detected by ClamAV as Doc.Dropper.Valyria-9768469-0. It contains a VBA project with an AutoOpen macro, indicating it's designed to execute automatically upon opening. The presence of VBA macros and the ClamAV detection strongly suggest the document's purpose is to act as a dropper for further malicious activity, likely involving downloading and executing additional payloads. No specific URLs or executable content were directly extracted, limiting the IOCs.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Dropper.Valyria-9768469-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Dropper.Valyria-9768469-0
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • 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 — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
