MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is a malicious Office document containing heavily obfuscated VBA macros. The critical heuristic 'OLE_VBA_OBFUSCATED_AUTOEXEC_LOADER' indicates the macros are designed to auto-execute and likely download a second-stage payload using CreateObject and Shell execution. The presence of the 'deneme' and 'CreateReport' subroutines, along with the 'ReadAlbums' function, suggests an attempt to disguise malicious activity within seemingly legitimate code. The Zapier URL is a potential indicator for command and control or payload delivery.

Heuristics 8

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Valyria-6749505-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Valyria-6749505-0
  • VBA macros detected medium 5 related findings OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Obfuscated auto-exec VBA loader critical OLE_VBA_OBFUSCATED_AUTOEXEC_LOADER
    Auto-exec VBA reconstructs strings with a heavy custom decoder (numeric char-array, repeated hex-string decode, or junk-token Replace removal) and feeds them to a COM-instantiation or execution sink. This obfuscated-loader shape keeps CreateObject/Shell/URL indicators out of the macro source.
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • CallByName call high OLE_VBA_CALLBYNAME
    CallByName call
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
    Compiled VBA/cache stream contains an auto-execution token together with shell/download/object-execution tokens. This catches p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where visible source is unavailable.
  • 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.
