MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The sample is a Microsoft Office document containing VBA macros. Heuristics indicate the presence of CreateObject calls and VBA string obfuscation, suggesting the macros are designed to execute arbitrary code. The embedded 'macros.bas' file is the source of these malicious macros. The script's obfuscation makes it difficult to determine the exact payload, but the overall pattern is consistent with a macro-based downloader.

Heuristics 5

  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • 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 macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Environ() call (env variable access) low OLE_VBA_ENVIRON
    Environ() call (env variable access)
  • 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.
