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

The sample is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro. This macro is designed to execute a second-stage payload by writing a file named 'wordRap.....hta.' and then executing it using WshShell.run. The presence of the AutoOpen macro and the 'enable macros' lure strongly suggests a malicious document intended to download and execute further malware.

Heuristics 6

  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen 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
  • Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE
    Document instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
  • 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.

  • Macro capabilities present but unconfirmed info MACRO_CAPABILITY_UNCORROBORATED
    The document's VBA exposes execution capabilities (Shell/WScript/CreateObject/auto-exec) but nothing corroborates malicious intent — no obfuscation, memory-exec primitive, download+exec chain, encoded payload, LOLBin, DDE, AV hit, or suspicious URL. The verdict was capped at 'suspicious' so legitimate macro-heavy business documents are not flagged malicious on capability presence alone.
