MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.001 PowerShell

The sample is a malicious Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros. The 'autoopeN' macro is triggered upon opening, which then calls the 'mix' subroutine. The 'mix' subroutine reconstructs the string '.hT.wavDateMix' and writes the document's content to this file. Subsequently, the 'window_open' subroutine executes this file using 'scriptrunner -appvscript .hT.wavDateMix'. This indicates the document's primary purpose is to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.BluePaletteW09210-9893000-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.BluePaletteW09210-9893000-0
  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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.
