MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file contains VBA macros, including a Document_Open auto-execution macro, which is a common Emotet infection vector. The ClamAV detection explicitly names Emotet. The macro's primary function appears to be obfuscated code execution, likely to download and run a second-stage payload.

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 — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
