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

The sample contains legacy WordBasic macro virus markers and VBA macros, including AutoOpen and AutoClose, indicating malicious intent. The 'ShowMessage' VBA subroutine displays a deceptive message to the user and the 'Bablas' subroutine attempts to disable macro security features by setting Options.SaveNormalPrompt, Options.VirusProtection, and Options.SavePropertiesPrompt to False. This suggests the macro is designed to trick the user and lower security defenses, potentially to download or execute further malicious content.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Legacy.Trojan.Agent-34741 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Legacy.Trojan.Agent-34741
  • VBA macros detected medium 3 related findings OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • VBA macro-virus self-replication / AV tampering critical OLE_VBA_MACRO_VIRUS_REPLICATION
    VBA macro programmatically rewrites VBA project code through the VBE object model (CodeModule/VBComponents InsertLines/DeleteLines/AddFromString or OrganizerCopy) to copy itself into the global template and other open documents, and/or disables Office macro-virus protection (Options.VirusProtection = False). This is the defining behavior of the W97M document macro-virus family — self-replicating code with no benign document use, independent of any AV signature.

  • Legacy WordBasic macro-virus markers high OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_MACRO_VIRUS
    OLE Word document contains legacy WordBasic auto-execution macro markers such as AutoOpen plus ToolsMacro/MacroFile/fileMacro/globMacro or named historical macro-virus strings. These old Word 6/95 macro forms are not exposed as a modern VBA project, so normal VBA source extraction can miss them.
