MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is a DOCM document containing VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro which is a common technique for initial execution. The presence of CreateObject calls and the ClamAV detection signature 'Doc.Dropper.Downloader-6398288-0' strongly indicate a downloader or dropper functionality. No specific network IOCs or further payload details were extracted from the provided script content, which appears to be truncated and contains only document manipulation routines.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Dropper.Downloader-6398288-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Dropper.Downloader-6398288-0
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject 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.
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains vbaProject.bin — VBA macros present
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
