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

The file is a malicious OOXML document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro that utilizes GetObject. ClamAV signatures identify it as 'Doc.Downloader.Mrwx-7567612-0', indicating its function as a downloader. The presence of the Document_Open macro strongly suggests the intent to execute malicious code upon opening the document, likely to download and run a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.Mrwx-7567612-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Mrwx-7567612-0
  • 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
