MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
The sample contains a VBA macro with a Document_Open auto-execution trigger. This macro utilizes GetObject and CreateObject to interact with WMI, specifically targeting Win32_Process to create a new process. The use of obfuscation, such as reassembling API names from split string literals like 'winmgmts', indicates malicious intent to download and execute a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Downloader.Sagent-9376492-0' further supports this assessment.
Heuristics 10
-
VBA WMI Win32_Process launcher critical OLE_VBA_WMI_PROCESS_CREATEVBA macro builds or references a WMI moniker for Win32_Process and invokes .Create to start a command. This is a high-confidence macro execution chain that often hides the WMI class name through string concatenation or helper functions.
-
Dangerous API name reassembled from split string literals critical OLE_VBA_SPLIT_KEYWORD_OBFUSCATIONVBA concatenates short string literals that reassemble a dangerous API/ProgID/LOLBin name (e.g. Scripting.FileSystemObject, WScript.Shell, powershell, URLDownloadToFile) which appears in no single literal. Splitting an API name across string concatenation is done only to evade keyword scanning.

ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.Sagent-9376492-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Sagent-9376492-0
-
ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAVClamAV 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_DOCOPENDocument_Open macro
-
GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJGetObject call
-
VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXECCompiled 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_VBADocument contains a VBA project — VBA macros present
-
Embedded OLE object medium OOXML_OLE_OBJECTDocument contains an embedded OLE object
