The presence of VBA macros and a CreateObject call strongly suggests the execution of malicious code. The embedded URLs are likely used to download and execute a second-stage payload. No document body text was available for analysis, so the specific lure cannot be determined.

Heuristics 3

  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — context-specific rules above attribute URLs they actually evaluated; this rule lists URLs that were present in the bytes but were not otherwise tied to a specific finding.
