MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is an OOXML document containing VBA macros, specifically triggering a Document_Open macro and using CreateObject. This indicates an automated execution path intended to download and execute a second-stage payload. ClamAV detection further supports its malicious nature as a downloader. No specific family could be identified, and no external IOCs were extracted.

  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
