MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The sample contains VBA macros, including an AutoOpen subroutine, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening a document. The script uses GetObject to execute a command, and the reconstructed command string indicates it attempts to write to the Run key for persistence. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader' further supports the conclusion that this document is a downloader for a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.BlueWord12210-9915312-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.BlueWord12210-9915312-0
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject 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 a VBA project — VBA macros present
  • 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.
