The sample is a Word document containing VBA macros, including an AutoOpen subroutine. The script utilizes CreateObject to interact with the file system, specifically creating a file at 'C:\ProgramData\LKOJHFTYKDSFFV' and writing repetitive data to it. This behavior is indicative of a downloader or droppper mechanism, aiming to stage further malicious activity.

  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
