The sample is a Microsoft Office document containing VBA macros. Heuristics indicate the presence of CreateObject and CallByName functions, commonly used for malicious purposes. The embedded JavaScript is heavily obfuscated, but its structure suggests it's designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The presence of VBA macros and the obfuscated script point towards a downloader or droppper functionality.

Heuristics 4

  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
