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

The sample is a malicious OLE document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro designed to execute code. The macro uses shell execution and calls the Environ() function, indicating it's likely attempting to download and run a second-stage payload. While the VBA code is heavily obfuscated, the presence of a Document_Open macro and shell execution strongly suggests a malicious intent to compromise the user's system.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Snake-10031454-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Snake-10031454-0
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • 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 macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Environ() call (env variable access) low OLE_VBA_ENVIRON
    Environ() call (env variable access)
  • 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.
