MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The sample contains a VBA macro with an AutoOpen function, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening the document. The macro utilizes WScript.Shell and CreateObject calls, indicating an attempt to execute commands or scripts, likely to download and run a secondary payload. The presence of these critical heuristics and the ClamAV detection strongly suggest malicious intent.

Heuristics 11

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Valyria-6874850-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Valyria-6874850-0
  • VBA macros detected medium 5 related findings OLE_VBA_MACROS

   PXmtC = (Tiqwa + FIGbzw / 68583 + jBqCZJ + (SRloHZ - XwibSw))

   PXmtC = (Tiqwa + FIGbzw / 68583 + jBqCZJ + (SRloHZ - XwibSw))
  • Payload URL decoded from an encoded PowerShell loader (5 URLs) high OLE_VBA_ENCODED_PS_DROPPER_URL
    A VBA macro assembles (from literals scattered across helper functions) a WScript.Shell command that runs a PowerShell stage-2 loader whose download URL is hidden in a numeric char-code array — decoded at runtime by [char]($_ -bxor k) (or +k / -k) after splitting on obfuscated delimiters. The decoded hosts (often an @-separated fallback list dropped to %TEMP% and executed) are the next-stage payload URLs, never contiguous on disk; surfaced as IOCs. Self-validating: only a transform yielding a valid host URL is reported.
  • 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.
  • AutoOpen macro low OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
    Matched line in script

Sub AutoOpen()

  • Reference to Windows Script Host high SC_STR_WSCRIPT
    Reference to Windows Script Host
  • 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.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • 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.
