MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.003 Windows Command Shell

The sample is a malicious OLE document containing VBA macros. The critical heuristic 'OLE_VBA_SHELL' and the critical ClamAV detection 'Doc.Dropper.Agent-6531544-0' indicate malicious intent. The 'SE_ENABLE_LURE' heuristic confirms the document attempts to trick the user into enabling macros. The VBA macros, specifically the AutoOpen function, are designed to execute commands via Shell(), likely to download and run a second-stage payload. The script content is heavily obfuscated and truncated, preventing a more detailed analysis of its specific actions.

Heuristics 9

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • ClamAV: Doc.Dropper.Agent-6531544-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Dropper.Agent-6531544-0
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
    Compiled VBA/cache stream contains an auto-execution token together with shell/download/object-execution tokens. This catches p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where visible source is unavailable.
  • 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
  • Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE
    Document instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
  • 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.
