MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample contains a legacy WordBasic AutoOpen macro that references PowerShell, indicating an attempt to execute a malicious script. The script constructs a PowerShell command to download and execute a payload from a series of concatenated URLs. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Dropper.Agent-6978788-0' further supports the malicious nature of the file.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Dropper.Agent-6978788-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Dropper.Agent-6978788-0
  • Reference to PowerShell high SC_STR_POWERSHELL
    Reference to PowerShell
  • Legacy WordBasic auto-exec macro marker medium OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_AUTOEXEC
    OLE Word document contains a legacy WordBasic auto-execution marker such as AutoOpen, but no modern VBA project was recovered and no stronger macro-virus family marker was present. This is analyst-facing evidence for old Word macro execution surface, not a downloader or parser-CVE attribution by itself.
  • VBA project contains no executable statements low OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains a VBA project, but extracted modules only contain attributes/options/comments and no executable statements.
  • 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.
    URL http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/main In document text (OLE body)
