MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample contains VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon document opening. The critical heuristic firing for URLDownloadToFile in VBA indicates that the macro attempts to download a second-stage payload from a URL. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature as a downloader. No specific document body text was provided for analysis, but the presence of the AutoOpen macro and the URLDownloadToFile function strongly suggests a downloader attack pattern.

  • 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.
