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

The file is a DOCX document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro and a GetObject call, which are common indicators of malicious activity. ClamAV detections confirm this file is malicious. The presence of VBA macros suggests the document is designed to execute arbitrary code, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Generic-7561115-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Generic-7561115-0
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains vbaProject.bin — VBA macros present
  • 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.
